‘If I can, you can’ is Karen’s first novel and was published in April 2022. ‘If I can, you can’ The biography of Hayden Walsh, tells the life story of the 31 year old who lives with cerebral palsy. The AFL’s Hall of Fame legend Nathan Buckley provides the Foreword and Tracey Spicer describes the book as a “beautifully -written, poignant and powerful tribute to an extraordinary advocate.”

“Hayden and Karen provided a inspirational presentation and discussion at the 2024 National Conference for the Water Industry Operators of Australia, (WIOA) in Bendigo. A reminder that determination will deliver results and that things are not always easy, but sometimes provide the best learning and opportunities. I think the title of the book sums it up, If I can, You can.” Dean Barnett, Executive Officer WIOA
