FEARLESS
-- he word "disabled" is seldom heard at the Invictus Games.
Not out of courtesy. Not out of correctness. Absolutely not out of pity.
Out of spite.
Forgive the competitors at this elite international competition if the word is no longer in their vocabulary. They have routinely accomplished things others thought impossible. The strength in their minds regularly supersedes the doubt in the minds of others.
Invictus Games competitors have been inspired to pursue athletics as a salve for body and mind -- a reason to keep getting out of bed and trying to improve a little bit every day. As part of the healing process, they hope to inspire the next generation of wounded warriors to improve their physical and mental health through sports.
Some have lost limbs, but none have lost their spirit.
