In 2011, while serving with 2nd Battalion The Rifles, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Having recently set his sights on completing the seven summits he now aims to inspire the World in the process.



My mission

I now accept that I have been set on a completely different pathway - one of learning, adapting, discovering, enlightening, sharing and challenging. I now aim to continually push my personal and physical limits to summit the highest peaks in the World, and in doing so, raise awareness for the disabled and less fortunate in the World.
— Justin Oliver Davis

Since his incident on tour, he has been the most dedicated and driven person I know. He motivates everyone around him to do something better with their lives.
