MEMBER STORY | Meet Glyn…
Behind every Purple Warriors paddler is a story that deserves to be heard.
Glyn’s journey is one of resilience, courage and refusing to give up. After life-changing injuries sustained during military service, he found himself in a very dark place. Through Purple Warriors, dragon boating and the support of people who understood, he found purpose, friendship and a reason to keep moving forward.
Today, Glyn wants others to know one simple message:
“You’re not alone.”
If you’re a serving member of the Armed Forces, a veteran, or know someone who could benefit from being part of a supportive community, why not come along to our Purple Warriors Open Day?
