Anyone who knows her will testify to the fact that Karina Browne always tends to be the life and soul of the party. Well it was quite a party at Sinnott's recently as Karina was surrounded by family and friends to mark her 40th birthday.
The Wexford woman has come a long way to get to this point and there was a time where it was thought she wouldn't make it. Around 19 years ago, Karina's life took an unexpected turn when a car accident left her with a traumatic brain injury.
However, her strength and determination have been an example to many and with the help of Acquired Brain Injury Ireland she managed to reclaim her life and today she volunteers, has all manner of hobbies and interests and cherishes each moment.
In recent times, Karina even blew everyone away with her stirring rendition of Dancing at the Crossroads which won her the inaugural Ability's Got Talent trophy in a packed Wexford Arts Centre and, perhaps more importantly, a thumbs up from legend of that 1996 Wexford hurling team, and Karina's good friend, Larry O'Gorman.
Larry O was also in attendance at the party at Sinnott's, alongside lots of Karina's friends from ABI and Wexford Able Disabled Club and her family, all of whom gathered to help her mark the milestone.
