SEAN GRIMMOND
“I always thought the Invictus Games were for someone else – I wasn’t injured enough, I hadn’t served enough, I didn’t deserve the opportunity, I understand now that isn’t true.”
Australian AIR FORCE veteran and Invictus Games 25 competitor

KAZ GLADYSZ
“Throughout my rehabilitation period, sport has been the one consistent activity that I have been able to get enjoyment from and join in with my family.”
AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE VETERAN AND INVICTUS GAMES 25 Co-CAPTAIN

DOUG GRIFFITHS
“Cancer has turned my life upside down. But I am not ready to let cancer define who I am and I am not going to let cancer win. Sport offers me the opportunity to regain some normality in my life.”
Australian NAVy veteran and Invictus Games 25 CO-CAPTAIN

CHELSIE CLAYTON
“Sport has always been a huge part of my life. It helps me clear my mind and lets me forget about my own mental health for a moment. It gets me up and out of the house on my worse days sometimes.”
Australian ARMY veteran and Invictus Games 25 competitor

GET ACTIVE
Invictus Australia partners with national sporting organisations and major sporting bodies to deliver opportunities for veterans and their families across sport at a local level.
“Invictus is about the dedication of the men and women who served their countries, confronted hardship and refused to be defined by their injuries. 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.”
