Back in November 2009 while serving with 3 Rifles in Sanging, Afghanistan, Michael was injured by an I.E.D resulting in the loss of both legs. For Michael, who has a passion for handcycling, competing at the Invictus Games gives him the chance to be a part of a team again. “It will feel like it was back in the Army, supporting one another. We’ve all got strengths and weaknesses and the Invictus Games gives a great opportunity to work on them.”
