Lensbury member, Christopher Bryde has been selected to compete in the 2025 Invictus Games for the United States Marine Corps after winning five medals at the Marine Corps Trials.
The Invictus Games is an annual multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women who are both serving or veterans. The aim of the Invictus Games is to provide opportunities for individuals after trauma, and to enable those involved to reclaim their purpose and identity beyond their injuries.
Earlier last year, Christopher was selected to compete in the Marine Corps Trials. These are preliminary games where Marines from different NATO countries compete against each other, with the hope of being selected for the Invictus Games.
In the Marine Corps Trials Christopher won a gold medal in Archery, a silver medal in Swimming (breaststroke), and three bronze medals in Swimming (backstroke), Rowing, and Wheelchair Rugby. This successful performance at the Trials means that Christopher has been selected to compete in the Vancouver Whistler 2025 Invictus Games.
Everyone at The Lensbury wishes Christopher all the best for next year’s games!
