A group of mainly injured servicemen are preparing to tackle the most gruelling off-road race on the planet. The Dakar Rally is a punishing 6,000 mile trek across the desert that pushes man and machine to the limit. Captain Matt O'Hare and triple amputee Corporal Tom Neathway are part of the Race2Recovery team hoping to tackle the 2013 race, raising money for Forces charities.
