Flávia Cintra: an example to us

Flávia Cintra is a beautiful journalist who inspired Manoel Carlos to create the character Luciana in the soap opera "Viver a Vida".

Flávia was a secretary and a model in 1991 when she suffered an accident and became tetraplegic. She was eighteen and was returning to her home after a great travel in a holiday with her boyfriend. There was another accident on the road, he tried to avert and they had the car capsized.
Some hours after, Flávia woke up in a hospital and she couldn't feel anything under her neck. She was desperate and really angry.
After some months she understood that it wasn't a punishment and she could be happy in that way. She did all the exercises that her physioterapist asked her, learned how to use a wheelchair and how to do a lot of things by herself.
Nowadays, she is married and has twins. She works at "Fantático" and does lectures in companies teaching how to treat disabled employees.
