Despite an injury that required her left leg to be amputated below the knee,  Patricia Collins know as Patty,  has been training to qualify for four events at the Invictus Games. “Sports has been a part of my life and lifestyle since I was in grade school,” she said. “Becoming a physically challenged athlete has done nothing to change that mentality.” Patty is excited for the opportunity to represent the United States at the Invictus Games, and has been selected to represent her country in Athletics, Road Cycling and Swimming. She is also planning to qualify for the 2016 Paralympic Games.
