Royal Marine to Guinness World Records: Lee Spencer

I Got Back Up: Getting back up with...

Show Notes

Enduring an upbringing dominated by alcoholism and violence, Lee Spencer joined the Royal Marine Commandos in 1992. However, in 2014 Lee lost his leg whilst assisting people in a crash. He has since made history by rowing across the Atlantic breaking records with an all-amputee crew and setting solo rowing records and earning three Guinness World Records.

His journey reminds us that we often underestimate our capabilities and push past limits we never thought possible. Take a moment today to look in the mirror and be proud of the person looking back at you. Knowing the journey, it took to get here.
