Invictus Games Birmingham 2027

The Invictus magic is real ✨ It’s not just about the Games - it’s about the people, the connections, and the shared experiences that change your perception of what is possible. For many, just like Invictus Games medalist @jonnyinvictus explains, Birmingham is the soul of recovery, where journeys of healing began. #IG27 #Birmingham #Recovery #TheSoulOfRecovery #InvictusMagic

For many veterans, leaving the military suddenly due to injury or illness means losing a sense of unity and purpose. The Invictus Games help bring that back. #IG27 #Teamwork #HealingThroughSport #Resilience #Recovery
