And for a long time, Brad lived the dream. But everything changed on August 15, 1999 \u2014 the day when the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

Brad and Liz were with their kids in their truck. Liz was driving when the left front tire blew out. She lost control of the car and drove off the road.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the couple\u2019s three boys walked away with minor bruises. Brad\u2019s injuries were a bit worse \u2014 he broke his leg. But for Liz, the situation was tragic: she broke her back and became paralyzed from the waist down.<\/p>\n

Liz was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and when she woke up, her doctors gave her her diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Liz thought her life was over. She thought Brad, who was her boyfriend at the time, would leave her for a \u201cnormal woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad\u2019s response? He got down on his knee and proposed right there at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Of course, Liz said \u201cyes\u201d and the couple was soon married.<\/p>\n

Liz\u2019s road to recovery was long and her entire family supported her in her process.<\/p>\n

Liz is a strong woman, but the transition to her new life in a wheelchair was extremely difficult. Especially, since one of the family\u2019s favorite hobbies had been hiking.<\/p>\n

After the accident, Liz tried to follow along, but she quickly realized that her wheelchair would never be able to traverse the uneven terrain she loved to hike.<\/p>\n

On one occasion when the family was out following a moose trail, Liz was forced to stay behind on the flat road.<\/p>\n

With tears in her eyes, she asked her family to keep going. That image broke Brad\u2019s heart, and he decided he wouldn\u2019t let it happen ever again.<\/p>\n

During his time in the army, Brad worked as maintenance technician who was responsible for maintaining and cleaning tanks.<\/p>\n

His job inspired him to build a special wheelchair for Liz: an off-road-capable wheelchair that would allow Liz to join the rest of the family wherever they went.<\/p>\n

But it was easier said than done.<\/p>\n

Brad spent days on end in the garage. Some days, he barely went outside at all, and sometimes he lost his patience.<\/p>\n

The loud noise coming from the garage was something that the neighbors and Liz got used to.<\/p>\n

Brad\u2019s challenge? To build a silent electric engine that could work in the wilderness and at campsites.<\/p>\n

After countless hours, Brad had finally found the solution. He called Liz to the garage and surprised her with a unique wheelchair complete with tank treads!<\/p>\n

Brad\u2019s invention didn\u2019t go unnoticed. The all-terrain wheelchair impressed, among other people, the heads of the high-tech company NPC Robotics.<\/p>\n

The company supported Brad and built a prototype based on his model. With modern technology, Liz\u2019s new wheelchair is quiet, fast, and made for off-road driving.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, Brad and the kids have trouble keeping up with Liz when the family goes for a hike\u2026<\/p>\n

What a great invention! Brad hasn\u2019t just shown his enormous love to Liz, he\u2019s also showed that he has the ingenuity and will to overcome anything!<\/p>\n

What a great example of how to help your loved ones! When someone in your family falls, help them get back up!<\/p>\n
