  Our Freedoms are all Different. Our Prisons are all Different. Living Adventurously 63

  Dec 7, 202056 minS0

  <p>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.

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.
