Though he has already conquered personal challenges, including riding 65 miles with a hand cycle and representing Team GB in wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball in the Sydney Invictus Games, James wants to become the first unaided military double amputee to climb 19,340 feet to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro so he can highlight PTSD and mental health issues experienced by veterans and their loved ones as he raises funds for Help For Heroes and the Royal British Legion.

A true inspiration.
