Alex Krol is a former Marine who sadly suffered a serious motorbike accident when he was young, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Alex went onto become a gold medalist winner in Tennis (twice!) in the Invictus games. When we approached Alex to ask if we could tell his inspiring story, he told us something even more extraordinary. He told us that he wasn’t done with Tennis yet and that he was about to embark upon a journey to get other injured servicemen and women into the sport of wheelchair Tennis by holding trial days around the country leading to a weekend of matches with a chosen few.
What came next was an incredible display or fortitude, courage and emotion as the trials begun, more and more people turned up, the culmination of which saw 12 individuals come together through sport.
