A woman becomes the first person with complete spinal cord injury to swim the English Channel – without a wetsuit.
After being knocked off her bike and being left paralyzed from the waist down, Paula Craig MBE marked the 21st anniversary of her accident by swimming the impressive stretch as part of a relay team.
Craig, 59, was one of six swimmers who set off from Dover, England to France at 2:48 a.m. on August 4- covering 21 miles in a total of 14 hours and three minutes.
