In an inspirational tale, a former soldier and double amputee climbed Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. Liam King, who served in the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment in Afghanistan in 2011, lost both his legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED), as per LADBible. "I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it. Life isn't over just because you've got a serious injury,” Liam told LADBible.
