It’s hard to believe that two years have passed since David’s life changed forever. On this day, we reflect on the incredible journey he has undertaken since the accident that left him quadriplegic. From the unimaginable lows to the heart-warming highs, David’s story is one of courage, determination, and an unyielding spirit. We knew that he couldn’t be stopped!
In the early days following the accident, uncertainty loomed large. David and his family faced a daunting reality—adapting to life with a significant physical disability. The challenges were immense, from navigating a new world of medical treatments and therapies to redesigning their home for accessibility. Tasks once taken for granted, like getting out of bed or using a computer, became monumental. Yet, through every hurdle, David displayed an unwavering commitment to rebuilding his life.
One of the greatest sources of strength has been David’s incredible network of friends and supporters. From organising fundraisers to offering a shoulder to lean on, their contributions have been vital. His wife, Louise, has been by his side every step of the way, offering love and encouragement during the hardest moments. Their daughters, Summer and Bella, have been a constant source of joy and inspiration, reminding David daily of the importance of family and the power of hope. Together, the family has shown extraordinary resilience, adapting to this new chapter with courage and determination.
David’s journey has not been without its moments of triumph. Against all odds, he returned to work, determined to continue making a difference in people’s lives. His career—a vocation that has always been about helping others—remains his passion. Despite the physical limitations, David’s sharp mind, empathy, and leadership shine brighter than ever.
But there have also been darker moments—times when the weight of the situation felt overwhelming. Adjusting to his new reality has required immense mental fortitude. The bravery he has shown in confronting those moments head-on is nothing short of inspiring.
Reflecting on the past two years, David shared, “This year has been a steep learning curve. Trying to find my way in the world regarding parenting, being a partner, running an expanding a business, starting up new businesses, adapting to a new form of time management regarding daily activities and accepting a slower pace of life.
It’s not been easy, it’s my tolerance levels to the maximum on many occasions however the glass is always Half full”

David’s journey is far from over. While there are still challenges ahead, he continues to face them with the same determination and positivity that has brought him this far. His goal is to inspire others facing their own battles, proving that with support, perseverance, and hope, even the most difficult situations can lead to new beginnings.
