Lee Matthews started to suffer from agonizing pains and muscle spasms, doctors diagnosed him with a rare and hard-to-treat condition called visceral somatic syndrome. At the start of 2013 he tried wheelchair basketball and found that the physical activity, as well as the comradery from being a part of a team again, helped to turn his life around. Since then, he has been taking part in a number of events and will be representing the British Armed Forces in Wheelchair Basketball.
