A motorcycle accident in 2011 changed Scott and Leigh's life forever. After his accident he spent 18 months in a brain rehabilitation center, fighting for his life. The last 8 years of his life he needed the use of a wheel chair. Despite his limitations, Scott was a very happy and upbeat person who enjoyed life every day.
