Listen "Ep 55 - Clare Rutter - Paddler and Brain Injury Survivor"
Episode Synopsis
When life gives us a traumatic brain injury and cancer diagnosis can we find the positives in it? Clare Rutter believes we can and share's her incredible story.
Clare Rutter is a micro adventurer and explorer, a paddlesports & outdoors enthusiast. Clare was British Canoeing #ShePaddles Ambassador for Canoe Wales and paddles in South Wales & South West England
Clare is a survivor of a life-changing traumatic brain injury. In 2016, she was living her dream life in Gran Canaria when without warning she collapsed. Clare began the uphill task of years of recovery. She remained housebound for six weeks, ill, confused and in a state of fear of the predicament she found herself in. In her current day guest speaking, Clare talks of ‘the last photo’; a tear jerking emotive moment where she believed she was about to die, alone and scared in a foreign country.
Whilst still coping with her illness today, known as Post-Concussion Syndrome, Clare is now a full time, qualified Paddlesports Instructor & Leader and regularly supports clients with neurological conditions, mental health issues and a range of disabilities enabling participation, enjoyment and progression in paddlesports utilising the outdoors as therapy and rehabilitation as she did.
