Christmas is the time of year when it seems anything is possible. We all get a little more brave and more willing to take risks.

But Lily has refused to let her chair slow her down. Afraid of Heights Christmas Music Video With Tom Fletcher And Lily Rice credit: youtube.com One day Lily saw a video of Wheelchair Motocross athletes doing back-flips in their chairs and she figured if they could do it she could do it! So she decided to give it a try. When she finally stuck that landing Lily became the first female in Europe to backflip a wheelchair!

When Lily agreed to tell her story and star in Tom's music video it was like the partnership was written in the stars!
