Join me on this journey of exploring the real impact of a crash, as my guests and I will be taking you through our stories of experiencing horrific car accidents that impacted our lives but also the lives of those around us. I am Athanasia Houvarda, and I am a fatal car crash burn survivor from Greece. In Greek my name means immortality and of course I don't think I am immortal, I am not even sure if I wish to be, but in 2001 I beat the odds and watched my life change in one split second.I was severely injured with 3rd and 4th degree burns on 74% of my body. But on that day, I lost a lot more than my healthy skin, I lost my friends, I lost my identity, I lost my marriage and my business and my whole world was shattered into pieces. And it only took one split second.The crash Victim Life Survivor podcast will make you re think everything you take for granted in life. It will aslo inspire and motivate you to be more aware of your safety and the safety of others on the road. We all have someone that has the "it won't happen to me" attitude. I invite you to listen to the stories that will be heard on my show and share it with your firends and family. And if you have a powerful story to share about road safety, please email me at lifesurvivor_podcast@yahoo.com and help me give voice to your story! Thank you for listening!
