Liz McConaghy joined the RAF on her 19th birthday and flew on Chinooks for 17 years.

She helped save hundreds of lives on MERT rescue missions for dangerously-wounded troops, during her 10 tours of Afghanistan.

But saving others' lives left a big impact on Liz’s own, and months after leaving the RAF she attempted to end her life.

Liz tells Kate Gerbeau why, the moment she woke up in hospital, she chose to live, how it made her into an author, designer and advocate working to inspire and help others through similar struggles.

This podcast includes descriptions of battlefield injuries, and discussion of suicide. Visit bfbs.com/audiencesupport for details of organisations that can offer support and information.
