Tyler Christopher

27 year-old soldier L/Cpl Tyler Christopher currently serving in the 4^th Battallion The Rifles in the Army was injured by an IED in Afghanistan in 2009.  As a result of the blast he had to have both legs amputated above the knee, as well as nearly losing his arm and suffering abdominal injuries.

During Tyler's rehabilitation the Legion provided a handy man service to carry out essential and urgent home adaptations to his Mum's home.

"Changes to my mum's home were essential for me, but also for my mum when I was home from Headley Court, and I'll never forget that the Legion got the job done as quickly as possible to make life at that time easier for me.

"Both myself and my girlfriend are grateful for the support of the Legion and hope to some day set up our own business - something we know the Legion is also able to help with through its funding.
