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.
- Corie's career changed in 2009 while on duty in Afghanistan, where his vehicle hit a roadside bomb, resulting in life-changing injuries that left him struggling to adjust.
- A visit from his daughters proved pivotal for Corie, who recalled, "That kick-started whatever engine is inside me. I got up the next morning and sent for the physio."
- With support, Corie transitioned into elite sports, competing in Para Bobsleigh at World Cups and the Invictus Games, achieving top-three world rankings since 2015.
- Beyond Corie's achievements, this week underscores the public's duty to support Armed Forces veterans transitioning from service, whether finding fulfilling employment or managing civilian life challenges.
