One of those competitors will be Garry Robinson who credits His Royal Highness and the Invictus Games with saving his life.

"I've seen guys pass away through suicide and depression. I've just been fortunate that the Invictus Games have given me the that sense of belonging … I'm definitely thankful that Prince Harry has given me the opportunity to do that." Garry Robinson.
In this episode, The Duke of Sussex presents a heartfelt introduction to Garry's story and reflects upon the unique problems faced by injured soldiers. The ABC is the official host broadcaster of Invictus Games Sydney 2018, held from 20-27th October.
