A Paralympic swimmer has set up a frame running club to help disabled people after crediting the sport with helping her recover from a career-threatening injury.
Tully Kearney said she was left unable to swim after she suffered complex concussion syndrome in 2023 when her head was accidentally hit by a closing car boot.
Kearney said she took up frame running after the injury had forced her out of the pool
The 28-year-old said frame running helped her own recovery and journey to winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, and had prompted her to try to help others get involved.
