Sergeant Frens Hartgers was hit by an IED during a patrol in Uruzgan, Afghanistan in 2008. He was thrown 20 metres from his vehicle and lost 4 litres of blood. He is now taking a part-time course in Social Work at the University of Arnhem and Nijmegen, and is balancing his training for the Games with the recent arrival of his first son. Frens has already participated in the Warrior Games in the USA and jumped at the chance to join the team for the Invictus Games in London. He will compete in Field Athletics, Cycling and Sitting Volleyball.
