Meet a few Invictus 2017 Team USA competitors:

Sarah's story

Veteran Sarah Rudder, who lost her leg from the 9/11 attacks, took home four gold medals and three silver medals during the 2016 Invictus Games. She was first Team USA member to win gold. She will exhibit her #WillToMove again this year.

Christy’s story

On July 22, 2016, Captain Christy Wise piloted her first C-130 flight after losing her right leg above the knee. She continues to be on active military duty and will activate her #WillToMove on the U.S. team in a variety of sports—from swimming, cycling, and rowing to track and field, and shotput and discus.

Will's Story

Will Reynolds, who was deployed to Iraq in 2004, served as the U.S. team captain at last year’s Invictus Games, taking home two gold and three silver medals. He will reclaim his #WillToMove again as a competitor in Toronto.

Sebastiana’s story

Veteran Sebastiana Lopez won two gold medals and three silver medals for Team USA during last year’s Games. Sebastiana, who sustained extensive injuries and almost died from a 2015 motorcycle accident, had an above-the-knee amputation and started consistently walking this year. She experiences her #WillToMove everyday, because the X3 makes her more mobile than ever. She looks forward to competing in Toronto.

Stefan’s story

Stefan LeRoy, a veteran who lost both legs in Afghanistan, struggled to make progress on prosthetics for two years. After a successful 2014 surgery, he was finally able to walk consistently and start running. His #WillToMove will be competing on the U.S. team in track and field, rowing, swimming, and seated volleyball, during the Invictus Games.
