At 18 years of age while home from training for his dream career Tom was spending his last day with his mates and made a decision which would leave him a quadriplegic. Make no mistake, this is not a story about a man feeling sorry for himself and being angry at the world, it’s a prime example of accepting responsibility for your decisions, making peace with your circumstances and living life to the fullest. Tom talks about his dream of flying which led him to the ADFA, his accident, accepting his fate, the highs and lows of his recovery including becoming a self confessed ‘hermit’ and coming back to live his best life.
