After being discharged in 2014, Alan’s recovery journey has not come without setbacks, but there have also been amazing achievements that 7 years ago he never thought possible- such as learning to walk again. Sport has always played an immense part in the former Royal Marine Corporal’s life and training for the Invictus Games has given him the determination to train harder still, and he now is setting his sights on the Paralympics. Alan said: “To be given the chance to compete for my country would go full circle from the life I once had.”
