Following an injury in Iraq, Claire Edwards was medically discharged from the army after 18 years of service. Edwards was in the Royal Corps Signal since the age of 20 and was injured early in a tour of Afghanistan. The injury left her with a shattered pelvis, left femur and sciatic nerve damage. Over the past 7 years she has had multiple reconstruction operations and the power of sport has played a key element of helping her recover. Claire will be representing the British Armed Forces team in Cycling.
