Armed Forces Week: A nation’s duty to those who have served
Help for Heroes says support helped Mapp return to elite sport after a 2009 Afghanistan blast and reach top three in the world.
- Armed Forces Week, running from Monday, June 22 to Sunday, June 28, celebrates military dedication while highlighting the recovery of Corie Mapp, a former British Army soldier who served in the Household Cavalry.
- While serving in Afghanistan in 2009, Corie's vehicle hit a roadside bomb, resulting in life-changing injuries that left him struggling to adjust to a new reality.
- Recalling his recovery journey, Corie noted, "That kick-started whatever engine is inside me. I got up the next morning and sent for the physio."
- Competing in Para Bobsleigh at World Cups and the Invictus Games, Corie achieved top-three world rankings since 2015 with ongoing support.
- Supporting Armed Forces veterans transitioning from service remains a priority, as this week encourages the public to assist those managing unique challenges of civilian life.
