    So proud to represent my country, our services and my mates.

    I was proud to be selected as one of the thirteen athletes chosen to represent Australia at the 2018 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs. It gives me a great sense of pride to represent not just my country at this event, but also all of my serving and ex-serving brothers and sisters.

    Day one was a bust. Unfortunately the track and field events for the day had to be postponed due to very high winds.    We decided to go and see the sights and had a great day after all.

    Day 2 was a cracker.

    A fantastic blue sky set the scene for a wonderful day at the track. The competition was tough but all of the Aussies turned up the heat. We came away with 12 medals. I managed Gold in the 100m, 200m and 400m and Bronze in the relay thanks to the efforts of my team.

    A very proud moment for us all. It is a wonderful feeling to be awarded medals for your events. I believe that they are not a symbol of how well I went on the day, but of how well I have gone on my journey since my accident. This achievement belongs to my personal support network, my family, my team mates and my wonderful coaches as well. I can't thank you all enough.

    Wow it was a tough event, lots of really good athletes in my races. I managed to win a Silver in the 4 minute row and a Bronze for the 1 minute row. Thanks to all the other athletes and my team mates for all their kind words and congratulations.
