Why I ROAM: Clara Brown

“I roam for the freedom and the ability to explore, experience new things, find joy in the little things, and the excitement for what lies ahead.” Three-time World Champion and Paralympian Clara Brown never thought it’d be possible to walk again after suffering a traumatic spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the neck down at the age of 12. Yet through tremendous resilience, Clara rediscovered how much her body needed to move. She began rehab and started to regain feeling in her limbs, leading the way to an almost full recovery. Now, she’s risen the ranks in track and road cycling, setting her sights on competing at the highest level for Team USA at Paris 2024 while showcasing just how capable athletes with physical impairments can be. To Clara, living to the fullest with what she has motivates her the most. Get to know Clara further in the third episode of Why I ROAM – a short film series centered around five Wahooligans and what motivates them to get out and explore.
