The Invictus Games blew me away and I left with my cup and heart full. ๐ค๐
The commeraderie and respect(and hugging)between competing Nations teams was inspiring and heart warming.
The support and love the competitors received from their family,friends ๐งก and the volunteers was priceless. ๐ค๐
I will cherish the memories and โค๏ธ connections I've made with the athletes, the med team and other volunteers. According to volunteers that have been to many sport events, this was very unique , it was raw, unfiltered and it had heart โค๏ธ ALOT of it.
I will be forever grateful to have had this opportunity. ๐
Some highlights;
meeting(and hugging) many of the Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ team, acting as a first responder and only handing out a band-aid, seeing USA S. win his swim heat, meeting Rick Hansen, watching the Gold wheelchair rugby game, seeing Prince Harry (from a distance), the PADS puppies and connections made with other medical professionals from all over the world.
Also, Kirk took me for dinner after my last shift and we explored Vancouver a bit. ๐
