Some people would say what happened to me was like hearing a plot for a new movie. August 2013 New York City, 2 best friends on the first day of their holiday, then out of no where a taxi driver ploughs onto the pavement hitting a cyclist then hits one of the girls severing off her left leg.....this girl was then helped by a plumber who stopped her bleeding to death by using his belt as a tonique. Then comes along an American celebrity, Dr Oz to ensure everything was in place to save her life. 

​

Unfortunately for me, this is exactly what happened to me and after that movie like encounter I would then spend the next 6 weeks at the Bellevue Hospital in New York City. 

I was extremely lucky to be alive so my thought process was very positive throughout as things could have been a lot worse! To allow me to wear a prosthetic leg I had to have 4 surgeries altogether due to the nature of how I became an amputee. 

 

After my hospital stay and telling my side of the story to New York press and Tv Shows I was able to fly home where the real fun began....learning to walk again.

​

Before I lost my leg I was a dancer, stilt walker and a university student, studying fashion buying with design.

I was no stranger to hard work so learning to walk again was just something I took in my stride and the stilt walking actually came in handy when walking on a prosthetic.

 

Fashion was a huge part of my life and I wasn't about to give that up, so I carried on with my University and in 2015 I graduated with a 2.1. My achievements grew as I then went onto set up The Sian Green Foundation, which helps support amputee's and also to part fund prosthetics. 

​

I'm hoping to share my story of determination and strength in hopes it will inspire, encourage and help anyone that needs it. I am a huge believer in everything happens for a reason and I am convinced that my unfortunate limb loss happened for a greater purpose.
