Bali bombings survivor and inspirational speaker Phil Britten lost seven friends in the attack while suffering burns to 60 per cent of his body.

The then 22-year-old was in Bali celebrating a grand final win with his teammates from the Kingsley Football Club when the attack happened on October 12, 2002.

Britten tells Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills the fallout from bombings was beginning to weigh him down, before a speaking engagement at a Lions club meeting went a long way to changing his life.

Britten also tells Millsy how the work of burns specialist Fiona Wood on his body saved his life and also helped Wood continue her research into her groundbreaking work.
