Challenges are nothing new to Martha Carswell.

She was a member of the first-ever professional women's basketball team, and she fell in love with triathlons years before they were cool.

But when her bike was hit head on by a van, it shattered more than her body. For her, Growing Bolder is about recapturing her spirit, wherever the journey may take her.

Note: Martha offers tours, rentals and kayak instructions through her business Wekiva Adventures. Click here for more information.

    Martha's life is testament to the human spirit.  Her challenges, the ones she personally chose and the unexpected, all have enriched her life to the max. I would love also to take a paddle vacation on the beautiful Florida Wekiva River too, a total eco-bonanza! Thank you for sharing Martha's story.
