Friends for Life 2009 - Steve & Farley

Steve Gill and FARLEY.
Steve Gill was serving as a soldier in the British Army on his last few weeks of a posting in Northern Ireland. A routine manoeuvre would change his life forever, caught in a bomb blast; Steve was to lose both legs and one eye.

Nearly twenty years later, Steve uses artificial limbs to walk short distances and a wheelchair for travelling further. He came into partnership with Farley in 2006 and now Farley helps him with day to day life, especially picking up dropped items.

Having Farley in Steve's life has been amazing and the assistance he has given puts less wear and tear on Steve's limbs which will help him keep going for longer. It is difficult to explain how tough things can be without Farley's help.




Steve plays and teaches basketball and also helps other soldiers who have been invalided out of the army after suffering similar injuries.

With five children in the Gill household, Farley certainly has earned his stripes!

It's quite funny how Steve has probably spoken more in that video than he has in the entire 3 months he has been in Big Brother.
