Well, it's been a while, what with the Covid pandemic and an enforced break from big event volunteering, even the Commonwealth games in Birmingham didn't have a space for me. Though I did manage to get a job working in the retail store for a while. I got to work with the Perry mascots, which was great fun. I saw the opening ceremony and met up with some great volunteer friends. I got my fix and it reignited the big event volunteer need.
So........ I applied for the Invictus games in Dusseldorf in September 2023, and was delighted to be offered a role working with the press in the media centre. With the ups and downs of life it was uncertain if I'd be able to make it, but as the date creeps ever closer, it's looking good (so far)
I was part of the volunteer group from 2014 who were involved with the first Invictus Games and the pre games set up. I met a lot of people there I have seen since at other games, it will be interesting to see if some are still competing 9 years on.
Bring it on.
I AM the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
