During his service as a Lance Corporal in the RAF, Darren Kamara injured his neck causing servere nerve pain. In September 2013 he was medically discharged. He soon took up archery, a low impact sport, and found he was not a bad shot. With the support of Help for Heroes and its Sports Recovery programme, he travelled with the UK team to Colorado to take part in the Warrior Games and scored the highest round for the UK team. Kamara will be representing the British Armed Forces Team in Archery.
