The Force Within: From Police Officer To Paralympian

Three time Paralympian gold medallist Carol Cooke AM tells her life story with disarming honesty, a keen eye and gentle humour. Born into a policing family, Carol follows in their footsteps serving on the Toronto Police Force until love calls and she moves to Australia. Following a period of feeling unwell Carol is diagnosed with MS and life as she knows it changes forever. Resilient and determined, Carol believes she must embrace whatever happens on her life path and that is exactly what she does. She becomes a Paralympian and at an age when her friends are looking at retiring she is still training and competing (and winning!) against athletes much younger than her. Her story will entertain and inspire you.
