MEET THE AUTHOR - Clare Reilly 🌟

What happens when the path ahead looks impossible?
When Multiple Sclerosis changed Clare Reilly's life, she made a decision that would redefine her future. Rather than allowing a wheelchair to limit her world, Clare embraced adventure, resilience and the determination to keep exploring the places she loves.

In 'Wheelchair Meets Wilderness', Clare shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with disability while refusing to let it define her.

Grampians Community Health is hosting a Meet the Author event at Stawell Library on Sunday, November 8 from 2.30pm to 5pm.
Come along and hear Clare Reilly - Multiple Sclerosis Advocate speak about her book and her journey.

🩺GCH will also be offering free health checks.
📚Book sales available, with proceeds going to MS research.
