There's no pain, no theatrical agony. No screaming, no shouting.
The kill shot is catastrophic and conclusive. I slump silently on
to my knees and topple forward, head first, into the dirt. The lads
have seen enough death to assume mine is instantaneous. The lights
are out. That's him gone. Toby Gutteridge was only 24 when he was
shot through the neck while operating behind enemy lines in
Afghanistan. He survived despite not breathing for at least 20
minutes. Back in the UK, doctors recommended that his life support
machine be switched off, but with the defiant spirit that would
define his recovery, Toby pulled through. Now quadriplegic, capable
of movement only with his head, Toby has rebuilt his life. His is
an extraordinary story of survival against overwhelming odds, and
of the power of the human spirit to overcome extreme adversity.
Brutally honest and authentic, he builds a compelling picture of
the type of person produced by the Special Forces system, and tells
of how one split second changed the course of his life forever.
Powerful and inspiring, Never Will I Die is a universal story about
our search for purpose, and explores what extreme experience
teaches us about what truly matters.
