Paralyzed Former Rugby Star Leaves Hospital To Escort His Daughter Down The Aisle
October 24, 2017
One year ago, former professional rugby player Paul Curtis crashed his mountain bike into a tree and broke his neck.
As he lay fighting for his life he turned to his best friend and said, "If I don't get through this, walk my daughter down the aisle."
Curtis beat the odds and escorted his daughter down the aisle on her special day.

Curtis spent 7 months at University of Wales Hospital after the accident. The crash left the 57-year-old with a broken neck and damaged spine. He paralysed half his right diaphragm and ruined half his right lung.
Medics had initially feared for his life, but Curtis was determined to fulfill official father-of-the-bride duties by being at his daughter Hannah's side at her wedding.

"It has been a long year. I did not think this would happen, so the fact it has actually happened is magical," Hannah told Wales Online.
"There was a point when I did not think dad would be here. Me and Liam have been together for 11 years so it meant a lot for us to do this, and the fact dad is here is just lovely."
