I then broke my neck and back in a mountain bike accident. It felt like I was walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Three years later I represented Australia in indoor rowing and powerlifting at Invictus Games Sydney 2018 and was fortunate to win two gold medals. Today, I support mental health, veterans and sport.”  Australian ARMY veteran and Invictus Games competitor AINSLEY HOOKER “Being able to play sports as an amputee was eye-opening and the most amazing experience. Being able to be involved and meet amazing people makes discovering who you are again all worthwhile.I feel alive again and have a new drive to push myself further.” AUSTRALIAN ARMY VETERAN AND INVICTUS GAMES COMPETITOR BRIGID BAKER “The Invictus Games taught me I can enjoy and play sport again, it’s not so much about the ‘winning’ as it is about the participation and support. It gives goals that I can continue to adapt and scale to keep me on track. It’s given me an opportunity to effectively restart myself.” Australian Army veteran and Invictus Games competitor PETER BROWN “Life is not always easy but using sport as my outlet provides me with purpose and determination to not give up. I have met fantastic people that have taught me to never take the easy option. I am so lucky to be involved in sport and the Invictus team. I am so lucky to be surrounded by amazing people”    Australian ARMY veteran and Invictus Games competitor want more inspiration?

Invictus is about the families and friends who face the shock of learning that their loved ones have been injured or fallen ill, and then rally to support them on their journey of recovery. And above all, Invictus is about the example to the world that all servicemen and women, injured or not, provide about the importance of service and duty.”The Duke of Sussexinvictus games foundation founder & patronenusen-UShttps://invictusaustralia.org
