Amanda, formerly a Brisbane-based teacher, was paralysed in a skiing accident on Aspen seven years ago. She was left a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. She believed she would never ski again. But now she leads up an organisation called Challenge Aspen, which has won global acclaim for its work enabling people with all sorts of disabilities to experience the exhilaration and liberation of the mountains, through everything from rock climbing, to para-gliding to skiing using specifically modified equipment. Amanda's work has won her support from many prominent people. Jimmy Carter is a friend and supporter as is British actor Michael York. Amazingly her story has never been told in her own country. Climb Every Mountain is a classic tale of triumph over adversity. It is also the story of how a stunning, attractive woman confined to a wheelchair found true love against all her expectations.
