At Remember2Care (R2C), we are committed to walking alongside individuals through the most difficult chapters of life—offering support, belief, and practical help to ensure that potential never goes unrealised. Few stories capture that spirit more powerfully than the journey of Adam Harcombe.
From the roar of the rugby pitch to the silence of recovery rooms, Adam’s life changed forever after a horrific, unprovoked attack left him with a devastating brain injury. Once a passionate rugby player known for his grit, sportsmanship, and leadership, Adam suddenly found himself facing the unimaginable—his playing career abruptly over, and his physical and emotional world turned upside down.
But where others might have stopped, Adam chose to grow in new ways. At Remember2Care, we saw in him the courage and resilience that define not only a great athlete but a truly inspiring human being. That’s why we were proud to step in and sponsor Adam—to help him rediscover purpose, passion, and possibility.
From Coaching to Shot Put: Rewriting the Script
Unable to return to the game he loved as a player, Adam found another way to stay involved in rugby—coaching youth teams and passing on his knowledge, discipline, and passion to the next generation. His impact off the field has been just as powerful, if not more so. Through patience, understanding, and the kind of leadership born from hardship, Adam has become a role model to many young players, showing them what it means to rise above adversity.
Through our sponsorship, R2C has helped support Adam’s coaching journey—enabling him to support his local club, and continue making a difference where his heart still beats strongest: in rugby.
Yet that was only the beginning.
Adam’s desire to test himself physically never went away. With the limitations imposed by his injury, he looked beyond the sport that shaped him and found a new challenge in an unexpected place: the shot put.
With the same determination that saw him thrive on the rugby field, Adam threw himself into training. Day by day, his strength and technique improved. And his results began to speak for themselves.
Most recently, Adam achieved an incredible milestone—winning a silver medal at a highly competitive shot put event, a testament not just to his athletic ability, but to his perseverance, discipline, and refusal to give up.
A Life Reclaimed, A Future Redefined
Adam’s story isn’t just about recovery—it’s about transformation. It’s about taking the worst life can throw at you and choosing to throw something right back.
At R2C, our mission is to help individuals overcome trauma, rebuild confidence, and pursue paths that align with who they are becoming—not just who they once were. Adam is living proof that, with the right support and belief, it’s possible to rise from hardship and achieve something extraordinary.
Whether he’s on the sideline mentoring young rugby players, or in the arena launching the shot put with power and purpose, Adam carries with him a message we all need to hear:you are not defined by what happens to you—you are defined by how you respond.
Looking Ahead
Adam continues his journey and R2C will be on hand to support Adam in any way they can. Good luck Adam from all at R2C.
