Paralysed to Olympic Gold: The Unbelievable Story of Turning Adversity into Purpose & Human Potential - Dr. Karen Darke MBE | EP 74

Living Adventurously
Our Freedoms are all Different. Our Prisons are all Different. Living Adventurously 63
Karen Darke is an adventurer and Paralympian handcyclist. It is lucky that Karen has what she describes as “an adventurous gene”, as life in a wheelchair is full of the unexpected. Karen was a keen runner and climber (she had climbed Mt Blanc and the Matterhorn), but fell off a cliff and became paralysed from the chest down at age 21. Whilst initially she thought “I’d rather be dead than paralysed”, Karen soon learned that with friends, creativity and perseverence most things are still possible. She says, “it is thanks to those ingredients that I have a pretty extraordinary life.”

Instead, she fell off a sea cliff and into a completely different life, one she says she feels fortunate to have lived.It’s almost impossible to put into words how impressive the comeback from that accident was.
