Wheelchair Meets Wilderness Book Launch
About
đź“š Book Launch Event: Wheelchair Meets WildernessBy Clare Reilly | Foreword by Carol Cooke AM PLY
Join us for an inspiring and unforgettable evening as we celebrate the official launch of Wheelchair Meets Wilderness, a powerful true story of courage, resilience, and determination against all odds.
In early 2026, Clare Reilly set out to achieve what many believed was impossible, covering more than 1,000 kilometres along Western Australia’s rugged Munda Biddi Trail in an off-road wheelchair. Living with multiple sclerosis, every kilometre brought relentless terrain, unpredictable conditions, and the daily realities of navigating life with MS.
But this journey was never just about distance.
It became a mission of hope.
Driven by a deep love for the outdoors and a determination to create lasting change, Clare turned every push of the wheels into a powerful call for awareness, raising understanding of multiple sclerosis and inspiring others to keep moving forward, no matter the challenge.
Supported by her husband Jay, her family, and an extraordinary team behind the scenes, this remarkable expedition became a story of community, grit, and unwavering determination.
Adding to this powerful release, the book features a foreword by Paralympic legend Carol Cooke, whose own story of resilience and excellence perfectly echoes the spirit of this journey.
Wheelchair Meets Wilderness is more than an adventure memoir. It is a deeply personal account of refusing to let a diagnosis define what is possible, of choosing courage over limitation, and hope over fear.
Be part of this special launch event as we celebrate a story that will move, inspire, and stay with you long after the final page.
Come along, bring your friends and family, and join us in honouring a journey that proves the greatest distances are not measured in kilometres, but in the lives we touch along the way.
