Born blind with CP, Kimberleys life could have been so different. She was lucky. Her Mother never told Kimberley that she couldnt do things. She was never told that she was disabled. As a result she accomplished much through her Childhood culminating in her enrolling in Dalhoise University, to study Physcology.
Fate was to deal her another blow. In October 2004, an infection on her spine rendered her a quadriplegic literally overnight. Paralysed from the chest down, Kimberley spent 8 months in rehab.
A knockout blow for many of us, but not for Kimberley. She resisted the establishment view that she should go to live in a nursing home and struck out on her own, using a manual wheelchair. She retrained Sophie her guide dog of 5 years and began rebuilding her career.
An accomplished sportswoman, Kmberley is on a quest to become the Worlds first Blind Wheelchair Paralympian.
