Claire Lomas MBE is a truly incredible lady. After a freak eventing accident in 2007, Claire became paralysed from the chest down, ending her eventing dreams and career as a chiropractor. Claire endured incredibly dark times following her injury, but she's gone on to do some truly amazing things since! Not only has Claire been awarded an MBE, she lit the Paralympic cauldron in 2012, and has raised over £800k for charity by undertaking challenges such as walking the London Marathon in a robotic suit, handcycling around the UK and more. Claire has also written a book about her journey (actually, she's written two but the second is yet to be released!), now works as an inspirational speaker and fundraiser with her goal firmly set on raising one million pounds for charity, to help cure paralysis. Here, she tells us all about everything!
