In 2013 Sian Lord was on holiday with her best friend in NYC. She made a decision to walk one way rather than the other, which changed her life forever. Sian was hit by a taxi whilst walking on the pavement which severed her leg and left her to navigate a new life as an amputee. Realising that things like this can happen to anyone, even when you don't think they will, inspired Sian to inspire others to understand what makes them happy. One body, one life is Sian's mantra.
