About this listen

Behind every uniform is a story that rarely gets told—a story of grit, sacrifice, and extraordinary strength. And today, you're about to hear one of the most powerful.

In this episode of Beyond the Uniform : The Untold Stories, we sit down with Adam and Kate Jackson—a couple whose lives were turned upside down in 2020 when Adam, a proud Army veteran and father of two, suffered a catastrophic stroke that left him paralysed and voiceless.

Doctors said he’d never walk again. But Adam had other plans.

Alongside his fiercely supportive wife Kate, Adam has pushed through the impossible—relearning how to speak, walk, and even compete as a multi-medal-winning athlete on the world stage. From hospital handball matches with his daughters to gearing up for the 2025 Invictus Games, this episode is a front-row seat to what it really means to overcome.

It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s proof that with the right mindset—and the right partner—you can rewrite your story, no matter the odds.
