One of the most heartfelt promises couples make on their wedding day is to stand by each other “in sickness and in health.” Brad and Liz from Phoenix, Arizona, are a powerful example of this vow brought to life.
The couple shared a joyful life with their three children, filled with love and adventure. But their world changed one day when a tire on their car burst, causing it to swerve off the road and flip. While Brad and the kids suffered only minor injuries, Liz was left paralyzed from the waist down.
Despite the devastating news, Liz refused to let her disability define her. Still, she missed the outdoor activities she once enjoyed with her family—especially hiking. Seeing her pain, Brad made it his mission to bring that part of her life back.
He spent three months in the garage designing a specialized, all-terrain wheelchair that resembled a small tank. It was no easy task, with many setbacks along the way, but Brad never gave up.
When he finally revealed the chair to Liz, she was overwhelmed with joy. Thanks to Brad’s love and determination, she could once again enjoy nature alongside her family.
Inspired by Liz’s happiness and driven by his experience as a war veteran, Brad chose to continue building these all-terrain wheelchairs for injured soldiers.
This story is a powerful reminder of love, resilience, and dedication. It’s proof that true partnership means lifting each other up—even when life takes an unexpected turn.
