Manage episode 450819439 series 2813344
Cayle Royce was severely injured in action. His difficult yet inspirational story is told from his mother, Bronwyn’s perspective. Cayle lost both legs above the knee and part of his hand as well as further blast injuries after stepping on an IED.
“It is a very challenging story, but lots of positives to be taken…From where we were…To where we are now. The hospital, to adventures across the world. My child has come a long way…18 months after injury, Cayle rowed the Atlantic for the first time.” That was just the start, Cayle and his adventures have since gone from strength-to-strength and he has been awarded an MBE for his Service and achievements after recovery.
If anyone feels in need of hope after facing similar experiences, this story is for you, “If we can reach one person who needed to hear this story, that’s what it’s all about, to just give somebody hope. There is hope post-injury.”
