Warner was born in Dorking in England in 1974. Warner, who has cerebral palsy, began racing at the age of 19 when she was persuaded by friends to attend a sports training weekend in Sheffield. Warner began to take her running seriously while she was studying for her degree in Biomedical Science and Business Studies at Leicester University.
