Join us on Sunday, December 3 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm to meet former local Olympian, Claire Smith. She has written a memoir entitled Falling Into Now: Memories of Sport, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Education which tells the story of her recovery from a brain injury sustained when she fell from her horse at an international competition.
Claire’s memoir captivates readers with its heart-wrenching description of her life during the first three years of her recovery. When she realized she had no choice but to relinquish her equestrian identity, her journey became one of reinvention. She eventually went on to compete in triathlons and ran several half marathons, before losing her power to run and ride because of Dystonia.
Claire’s compelling story is one of loss intermingled with achievement, and is sure to engage and inspire readers of all ages.
