A talented event rider, Claire Lomas was injured in a freak accident at Osberton Horse Trials in May 2007 which left her with paralysed from the chest down.

Five years on and Claire has made headlines as a fundraiser for Spinal Research and in her determination to get walking again – completing the London Marathon this year in 16 days with the aid of a bionic suit.  In April 2013 she will also be cycling from Paris to London!

A supporter of Spabreaks.com’s  Spa for All Accessible Spas, we caught up with her after a little pampering at Ragdale Hall Health Hydro and Thermal Spa to find out what motivates her!
