Claire Danson: I knew I was paralysed - a podcast by Helen Murray

Claire Danson was on the cusp of becoming a professional triathlete, when a routine bike ride would change her life forever. In June 2019, Claire was crowned European Age Group champion (30-34). Just two months later, Claire was fighting for her life after colliding with a tractor whilst out cycling. The accident left her paralysed from her tummy button downwards.  
You'll hear:
*Claire talk about how the accident has changed her life for ever,*About the emotional rollercoaster Claire has been on over the past 7 months
*How it's changed the relationship with her sister, Hockey player Alex Danson
*Why she feels positive about the futurePlus hear the ups and down from https://www.instagram.com/davidmcnameetri/?hl=en (David McNamee), who is spending a 4th week on lockdown in his apartment in Girona. If you can help source any swim cords please get in touch with David or I!
