Jon Le Galloudec: Charity Event Speaker
Book Jon Le Galloudec as a guest speaker for your charity event or fundraiser. An injured veteran who has raised money for injured and ill service personnel through speaking and challenges.
In 2007, while serving with the British Army in Iraq, Jon "Frenchie" Le Galloudec was shot through the spine and left partially paralysed. Doctors said he was unlikely to walk again. He went on to compete at the Invictus Games 2014, play for GB Para Ice Hockey in 2015 and the Cardiff Huskies in 2016, climb Kilimanjaro in 2009, trek to Everest Base Camp in 2011 and write his memoir, After the Bullet (2025).
Jon was supported by Help for Heroes, Combat Stress, Op Courage and Pilgrim Bandits. Since then he has volunteered his time speaking, taking on challenges and fundraising for injured and ill service personnel and veterans.
