After having a disrupted and unhappy childhood, South African Toby Gutteridge craved purpose and direction and joining the military offered him everything he'd been looking for. He quickly rose through the ranks; his fitness, strength and confidence meant that by just 24, he was recruited as an elite Special Forces soldier with the British army. During a tour of Afghanistan, he was shot in the arm. He was offered the chance to return home, but chose to remain with his unit. It was to be a pivotal decision, just two weeks later, another bullet - this time to the neck - changed his life forever and Toby had to find more courage than ever before to deal with his recovery. His book is called Never Will I Die.
