(AOL) – A woman who has suffered two traumatic brain injuries is set to take on an endurance challenge to show “recovery is possible”. Cara Grimwade, fromNew Mills, Derbyshire, had two dirt-biking crashes – one in 2022 and another in October 2023 – which both left her with brain injuries.
The 31-year-old said the accidents “changed everything physically, mentally and emotionally” and told the BBC she was “very fortunate” with her recovery.
Grimwade, who is originally from Devon, said she was taking on the “two hardest swim, run challenges in the UK” – the Puddle Buckley and the Frog Graham – as well as cycling between Llanberis, Wales and Keswick to raise funds for brain injury charity Brainkind. CONTINUE
