Listen now
Description
Ashley Lyn Olson's entire life changed 2 weeks before her 14th birthday when she was involved in a car accident that took the life of her father, disabled her mother, injured her younger sister and paralysed Ashley, meaning she would have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. One of Ashley's biggest passions in life was travel and all of this would have to change now. But the important word is "change" not "end"; Ashley switched around those "why can't I..." questions for "how could I..." questions and decided to find a new way to "Access the World!" This is now her motto and as well as being a public speaker and an author Ashley now work campaigning and consulting for improved accessibility as well as travelling herself and documneting her experiences through her blog - http://wheelchairtraveling.com - helping other diabled travellers find the information they need to make it a little bit easier to "ACCESS THE WORLD!"
