In this first collaborative episode with RACT we’ll get frank with Kirby Barker, a Tasmanian whose life was drastically changed almost 20 years ago when she fell asleep behind the wheel.
With an infectiously positive attitude, Kirby shares the realities of what it's like to survive a major car accident, and the lifelong effects this has had on her and her family.
Her honesty is raw, and her outlook is inspirational.
