Israel21c – Claire Lomas couldn’t have completed the Virgin London Marathon without a lot of grit and determination – and an Israeli invention that allowed her to walk rather than being pushed in her wheelchair.
Lomas, a 32-year-old chiropractor, was permanently paralyzed below her chest as the result of a 2007 riding accident that ended her avocation as a four-star equestrian. Since then, she has gotten married, learned to ski and given birth to a daughter.
