Hari Budha Magar is a Nepalese born man who served around the world with the Gurkhas in the British military. He stepped on an IED in Afghanistan back in 2010 and lost his legs, both above the knee. It was a long battle to regain his confidence and reclaim his life, and sports played a crucial role in getting him to where he is today. He is an incredible athlete and holds the world record for being the first double above-knee amputee to summit a peak over 6000 meters - which was Mera Peak at 6,476 meters. He is also preparing to be the first ever double above-knee amputee to even attempt to climb the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest. There's a long list of many other feats, records and accomplishments, some of which we get into throughout the episode.
