For Americans, the 4th of July is a hugely significant day. It is the day they celebrate their independence by throwing huge parties and events and eating lots of food and drink. 29 year-old Craig Towler, like any other American, was very much looking forward to this day. He never could have anticipated that it would end up being such a complete and utter disaster. He was involved in a traumatic car accident, which would have severe consequences, including the loss of both of his legs. His life was about to change forever.

The national holiday would ultimately be tainted with the memory of the accident, serving as a bitter reminder of what he had lost. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Craig sought to overcome the problem and transform his life. It reminded him of the importance of living life to the fullest.
