Krissie Beccaris:

I was driving to work. The intersection doesn't really have many signs and it's an old blocked off intersection so it's now a zigzag. I went straight across and hit the mound and basically catapulted like Dukes or Hazards and landed on my tail and then slipped for another 40 meters.

Krissie Beccaris:

I refuse to hear that I was never going to walk again. The only thing I really wanted to do is have a set of legs that worked, so that would be my horses. And that's all I want to do is get on and ride. Four months after my accident, I went to a friend's house who had a little pony so I jumped on that.

Krissie Beccaris:

My partner, Aaron has been there from day one. He stuck by me through this and gone through hell, watching me throw tantrums and be frustrated. And he's been a rock for me. He's been a rock for my horses. And without LSA supporting us, I think, it'll be a lot more pressure on him.

Aaron Flavel:

Oh, I was worried, what were we going to do? How are we going to survive? Oh, I try to be there as much as I can for her, but there's only a certain amount that I can be there for her, the rest is LSA. Yeah really, less stress for us. LSA, they've been like a dream come true from day of her accident.

Krissie Beccaris:

If I hadn't had a Service Planner from LSA, I would be pulling my hair out because I've never been one to do paperwork, I've always been working with horses.

Laleh Rej:

She's quite proactive so if she needs something, she'll make sure that she contacts me, but I also like to keep tabs and see how she's going and just touch base. We have a really good relationship. Krissie is quite remarkable. She has a complete spinal cord injury so she's a paraplegic from the waist down. So, she has been met with quite a lot of adversity and yet just obstacle after obstacle, she just keeps overcoming them.

Krissie Beccaris:

I think without LSA in my life, it would be miserable. And I wouldn't be able to reach or look at any goals the way I have. They mean the world to me because they've made my world possible.
