"Fighting for the little guy"

“Fighting for the little guy”

May 11, 2026

From the East End of Glasgow to a military life of discipline and fighting for those who can’t, Gordon proves you are not defined by where you start.

Gordon looks back over his life, from his time in care as a child, to the pivotal moment in his teenage years in Glasgow that changed the course of his life forever. He shares how he went on to choose a life of service and standing up for others. Gordon shows how difficult starts do not need to define us: we can be proud of the lives we build for ourselves.

“I know that I am honoured to have been able to participate in the project. The message I would like my video to relay is that, for people that feel that they are stuck in a way of life that appears to have no future, you can change things if you change pathways. You can make things better when you plan your future and work at it.”
