Never Give Up - Never Quit
On April 10, 2012, United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device) while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries.
Travis tells us about that day, the moments after the explosion and his incredible and ongoing journey to recovery. He lives by his motto, Never Give Up, Never Quit!
Travis is a motivational speaker, actor, author and an advocate for veterans and amputees. Travis’s New York Times bestselling memoir, Tough as They Come, is available in bookstores everywhere. He continues to overcome life’s challenges, breaking physical barriers and defying odds.
In September 2013, Travis and his wife Kelsey founded the Travis Mills Foundation, a nonprofit organisation, formed to benefit and assist post 9/11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service.
