PBF Speaker
Program: Road
Clare was only 2 years old when her family were involved in a fatigue- related road crash.
She sustained a permanent spinal cord injury and has used a wheelchair ever since.
Clare adapted well to her new way of life, growing up going to school in a wheelchair and being very active. She was involved in swimming for many years but at 16 years old Clare was introduced to wheelchair basketball and was hooked! She loved this team sport and has played at State and National level; winning medals at the 2008 and 2012 Paralympics with the Gliders (the Australian Women’s Basketball team).
Clare now shares her story with high school students as part of PBF’s road safety program
