Meet the Yorkshire Regiment Veteran Competing in the Invictus Games
KLTV recently visited Tommy's Lounge to speak with James Cairns, a veteran of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment, as he prepares to represent Team UK at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
James shared his journey from military service to competing on the global stage, discussing the resilience, determination, and camaraderie that drive him forward.
The Invictus Games Foundation, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, is an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans. It celebrates their strength, recovery, and the power of sport in rehabilitation.
James’ story is one of perseverance, and his participation highlights the incredible spirit of those who have served.
