Jaguar Land Rover is absolutely thrilled to be Presenting Partner of the Invictus Games for the third time. We have seen the difference the power of the Games has made to people’s rehabilitation and we want to continue to inspire and encourage injured and wounded military personnel
ABOUT THE GAMES
The Invictus Games is an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women. The third games takes place in Toronto from 23rd until 30th September, with 550 competitors from 17 countries. These heroes have overcome incredible adversity to compete.
A ROYAL INITIATIVE
HRH Prince Harry conceived the games after a visit to The Warrior Games in the USA in 2013. He witnessed how sport could help veterans physically, psychologically and socially.
SUPPORTING THE THIRD GAMES
Jaguar Land Rover is proud to be the Presenting Partner of the 2017 Invictus Games, held in Toronto, Canada in September. Jaguar Land Rover’s support dates back to the inaugural Games in London in 2014, followed by Orlando in 2016.
SUPPORTING BEYOND THE GAMES
Our commitment to our heroic service personnel reaches far beyond the event itself. We are continually exploring opportunities to enhance the role of veterans as skilled employees.

JASON ELLIS – WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL
US TEAM
A roadside blast in Iraq may have cut short Jason Ellis’s military career, but it didn’t stop his winning streak at basketball. Seamlessly moving from able-bodied basketball to the wheelchair game, Ellis now believes the latter is more exciting to play and watch.

JASON ELLIS - US WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL
Jason Ellis loves everything about wheelchair basketball, from spinning on a wheel to reading the defence. With the speed of the game and the movement of the chair, it excites both players and the watching crowd. ‘I’m actually doing more now that what I had done before I incurred my injuries,’ he says.

CHARLIE WALKER – WHEELCHAIR RUGBY
UK TEAM
Charlie Walker was training as a bomb-disposal technician when he lost his legs to meningitis. He soon discovered wheelchair rugby and scored the winning try in the 2014 Invictus Games. ‘Life is continuously giving me obstacles to overcome, but the moment I let them get in the way is the moment I let someone else win.’

CHARLIE WALKER – UK WHEELCHAIR RUGBY
A double, below-knee amputee following meningitis, Charlie Walker says, ‘When you’re in the Army you’re used to working in tight units. Team sports gives you that feeling back.’ His injury handed him the sporting career he had dreamed of as a child, and he’s now Captain of the GB team. ‘Scoring the winning points for your country - you can’t ask for more than that.’
