Giles Duley, founder of the Legacy of War Foundation, tells his powerful life story

Giles's reaction to unimaginable physical and mental trauma has been to become a social founder, setting up the global Legacy of War Foundation using his award-winning photography and media skills to document, and counteract, the legacy of war across the world.Giles' physical and mental resilience are like nothing I have seen or heard before. In this episode of Social Founder Stories you'll hear how throughout his life, Giles has responded to adversity to create impact, but in particular, how stepping on an IED in Afghanistan, left him desperately fighting for his life for 47 days in intensive care, and then 18 months' rehabilitation, after the loss of both legs and his left arm.No-one expected him to survive those horrendous injuries, let alone to find the drive to continue to work and to travel, using his professional skills and his determination to create high-level positive social impact, setting up and growing his Foundation.Giles talks in-depth about the work of international NGOs, the power of photography to create impact, and his work in Syria, Africa, Cambodia and Afghanistan, woven into his personal journey leading to his founding of the Legacy of War Foundation, his gruelling recovery from his injuries in 2011, his learnings and values.You will hear little from me in this interview. Giles tells his powerful story and I listen, moved and amazed at his courage.Donate to the Legacy of War Foundation here if you can.Follow Giles:Twitter: @GilesDuleyInstagram: @GilesDuleyFacebook: @Giles.DuleyListen to Giles' founder story in the Social Founder Stories podcast series, Episode 4 - on all podcast platforms.
