To coincide with the Invictus Games Sydney 2018, Nova’s Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli will host a podcast series ‘Invictus Games – The Soldier and the Story with Wippa’, featuring some inspirational Australian competitors as well as an Ambassador for the games.
 
Wippa says “Our men and women who represent Australia through their commitment to the services should be recognised, and their recovery supported, in as many ways possible. Their stories should be told and need to be heard and it’s an honour for me to present them to you.” 
 
The fourth Invictus Games will see 500 competitors from 18 nations contest medals in 11 adaptive sports with more than 1000 family and friends accompanying the competitors, with all being supported by over 1000 volunteers.
 
In the podcast series which begins today, Wippa speaks to competitors Kevin Jacoby, Leading Seaman Vanessa Broughill and Craig McGrath, who share their stories of hardship and resilience that has led them to compete at the Invictus Games Sydney 2018.
 
He also speaks to Invictus Games Sydney 2018 Ambassador Curtis McGrath OAM whose incredible survival story and infectious positivity makes for highly motivational listening.
