After a terrible car accident just three months before her wedding left Liz Soden paralyzed, she knew she wouldn’t be “normal.” She wanted what she thought would be best for her fiance, Brad.
“So I told him, go out and find someone else.”

Instead, he made it his life-mission to give her a better life.
“I loved her,” he said. “There’s no way in hell I could walk away from this girl and ever look at myself in the mirror again.”
This is what true love looks like. 😍❤

In the weeks leading up to their wedding, Brad created a prototype wheelchair—a modified golf cart—so Liz would be able to cruise down the isle and get around on their big day.
“Most of the time, when you are in a wheelchair, you are put someplace and people have to come to you,” Liz Soden said. “But with the golf cart, I was able to move around and see everyone. I wasn’t stuck in one place.”
It was the start of a 17-year-journey to what is now known as the “TankChair.”
After about five years of improved mobility with Brad’s golf cart wheelchair, the couple found that Liz needed something more. Keeping up with the outdoor lifestyle they lived and being able to do things with all five kids was becoming harder and harder.
