The Shock of an MS Diagnosis

The Birth of Wheelchair Meets Wilderness

The Logistics of Accessibility

The Custom Off-Road Wheelchair-Bike

Fundraising and Future Plans

When Clare Reilly was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2017, she thought her days of outdoor adventure might be behind her. But the lifelong outdoors lover, podcaster, and mum is preparing to take on something extraordinary; a 1,072-kilometre ride along Western Australia’s Munda Biddi Trail using her off-road wheelchair.

In this episode, Clare joins Peta to talk about the quiet courage it takes to attempt something you’re not sure you can do. She shares how Wheelchair Meets Wilderness began as an idea on a vision board, the logistics of tackling the world’s longest off-road cycling route, and the emotional side of living with MS; from daily grief and fatigue to moments of pride and possibility.

This conversation isn’t about proving what’s possible. It’s about trying anyway.
