Why does the Veterans' Foundation support the Invictus Games Foundation?

The was established following the success of the Invictus Games 2014. HRH The Duke of Sussex and the organising committee of the London Games always hoped that they would be the beginning of the 鈥業nvictus鈥� story and that other cities and countries around the world would take up the challenge. The word 鈥業nvictus鈥� means 鈥榰nconquered鈥�. It embodies the fighting spirit of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and personifies what these tenacious men and women can achieve post-injury. The Games harness the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for those who serve their country.

The inaugural Invictus Games created a blueprint for inspiring many more 鈥榳ounded warriors鈥� on their journey of recovery. For every competitor that took part in 2014, there are many more who would benefit from having the same opportunity.

The Invictus Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.听

鈥淭hese Games have shone a spotlight on the 鈥榰nconquerable鈥� character of servicemen and women, their families and the 鈥業nvictus鈥� spirit. These Games have been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning round to clap the last man in. They have been about teammates choosing to cross the line together, not wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys to either. These Games have shown the very best of the human spirit.鈥�
