A true Warrior

Narelle Mason is proof that you really can achieve what you put your mind to—with some hard work thrown in along the way. After nearly 10 years in the Royal Australian Air Force Security Police, Narelle was medically discharged due to injuries to her knee and back which made it difficult to perform her physically demanding role. She not only set her sights on recovery and rehabilitation but earned herself a place as part of Team Australia to compete in the Warrior Games, held recently in Florida. We are so proud to have worked with Narelle who achieved outstanding results at the Games: 3 Gold medals, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze. She is now focused on the Invictus Games 2020 and we wish her all the very best. Read more about Narelle's incredible journey here.
