He Isn't My 'Carer' - He's My Husband | BORN DIFFERENT
DESPITE her bones breaking with the slightest touch, this disability warrior is daring to live her best life with the help of her ‘soulmate’ husband. Kristin Victoria, 36, was born with osteogenesis imperfecta – more commonly known as brittle bone disease – which is characterised by fractures to the bones caused by minimal impact. Kristin has lost count of the amount of bones she has broken over the years, saying it must be ‘hundreds’ by now. Standing at just 3ft 6” tall, Kristin also lives with scoliosis and admits she is ‘full of metal’ with the rods in her body helping to strengthen her bones. Kristin has faced the adversity in her life head on – remaining very active with the help of her husband, Mark, who she now travels the world with. And despite receiving comments from people assuming Mark is her care giver, or relative, they couldn’t be happier together. Kristin has battled through years of pain with her bones breaking in the strangest manner. “Sneezing as a kid, I’d break a rib, trying to stand or crawl, I’d end up fracturing something,” she said. Growing up, Kristin found life pretty ‘normal’ – she had a strong group of friends and didn’t experience bullying because of her stature or condition. And her life seemed to improve further when she met her now husband, Mark. The happy couple have a real love of travelling together and are ticking things off their bucket list almost every year. Kristin is now keen to raise as much awareness as she can to others living with her condition.
