Carmen is a Detective Sergeant from the Northern Territory Police, however this is not what this episode is about.

Carmen was involved in a horrific accident in Egypt in 2006 where she received equally horrific injuries. After being told shortly thereafter that she would never walk again, Carmen went on to represent Australia in rugby and play several other sports.

In June this year, she trekked the Overland Trek in Tasmania and at times, being knee deep in snow. Not bad for a woman who was never meant to walk again.

This is a story of incredible resilience and as you will hear, has never lost her sense of humor.
