On September 8, 2022 everything went sideways for Charlie Adams. He had a little side hustle working as a tree surgeon. He was working on a tree in Tiny Township. It was the last tree of the day. He was 35 feet up when disaster struck.
“The tree split and broke underneath me,” he recalls. “I rode it to the ground then another piece came down and hit me. So I broke my neck, which wasn’t too serious. I broke my back which was the big accident. I had 13 rib fractures, a fractured scapula and a collapsed lung.”
“My partner thought I was dead.”
Charlie was paralyzed from his belly button down. Two years on and Adams is trying to get his life back together. He's sitskiing, riding his Bowhead adaptive bicycle and waterskiing whenever possible. His perseverance is truly inspiring.
