For those of you that have not heard of the Invictus Games be sure to follow me as I relate and cover the teams, the events and the athletes. I know I'm a head of the game :-) but there are a lot of teams to go through.
The inaugural games opened in September 2014 in London. The 2020 games are a celebration of 75 years of liberation of the Netherlands. I followed the games when they were here in Toronto back in 2017. It was both exciting and inspiring.

The Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of all those who serve their country. https://denhaag.com/en/event/103799/invictus-games-the-hague-2020
