0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh, from Michelle.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25The Invictus Games already has the royal seal of approval.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Careful what you wish for.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Even the US President, Barack Obama, is ready for action.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Oh, really?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Boom!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39The games begin on the 8th of May in Orlando in America,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and will see injured servicemen and women from all over the world go

0:01:50 > 0:01:56Prince Harry came up with the idea of the games two years ago.
0:01:57 > 0:02:0012-year-old Musa's dad is taking part.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Lamin lost both his legs and an arm during the war in Afghanistan.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06When we were just sitting down and watching football,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10he came in with his wheelchair running fast, and then he said,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I'm going to be in the Invictus Games!
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Ha-ha!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16How difficult is it for your dad to get around every day?
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Life is hard for him because comic you know,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26-- Life is hard for him because, you know, he doesn't get to do most
0:02:26 > 0:02:27things that a father would do
0:02:27 > 0:02:29with a son or a daughter.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31He needs some help to travel around.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33He should be helping the children and the wife,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34but instead we're helping him.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I think he feels vulnerable.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Why do you think the Invictus Games are so important?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It's important so we can help the wounded and the hurt to know
0:02:43 > 0:02:47that they have a meaning in this world, not just that they are hurt
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and they can't do anything.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53And how have you been helping your dad to
0:02:53 > 0:02:54train for the Games?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58In the morning, I wake him up so we can go to the gym and train.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01First of all, we go and lift some weights so we can help him do
0:03:01 > 0:03:03physical strength for the archery.
0:03:03 > 0:03:12And then, after that, I take him out with his robotic legs
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and we go for a walk round the street.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17After that, we go inside and do some stretches.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, Musa, there's one last thing for us to do, isn't there?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Shall we wish your dad the best of luck?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Let's go.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25BOTH: Good luck, Dad.
