  From her site: Karen Lynn is a native Californian. At five months old, Karen was paralyzed due to a DPT shot. This shot put her in a coma, leaving her severely disabled, but miraculously she made an almost complete recovery. Leaving her with cerebral palsy, left-side hemiplegia, and dyslexia, she went forth despite all odds. Karen made sufficient progress and has left a mark on this world.
  
  Karen not only learned to dance, but she soared. She was the first physically challenged person to search out and win the first civil rights case in California. She obtained an Associate of Arts degree in English, and won second prize in the Kaleidoscope Literary Art Magazine international prose fiction art awards of 1983. She became a dance teacher and mentor for special needs individuals.
  
  Just as she soared in her desires, so she seeks to inspire others to soar in theirs.
