From riding rodeo and competing in polo crosse in the UK to diving 70ft underwater in Egypt and taking on America's famed Route 66 on a Harley Davidson, Mick Foulds lets nothing hold him back.

And despite the former railwayman having lost both legs beneath the knees in an industrial accident, he has managed to use his exploits to raise a quarter of a million pounds for charity.

The former Territorial Army corporal, 62, from Stanton, Suffolk, uses his high-adrenaline adventures to raise funds for Help For Heroes, the armed forces charity.
