It takes only a few seconds to make a difference that can destroy or change a life forever. Bruce Walsh was an ordinary man, on an ordinary day when the extraordinary happened leaving him to fight for his life after the horrific Planet Hollywood bomb of August 1998. For five weeks after the life he knew dissolved in a searing fireball, Bruce Walsh lay in a hospital bed, strung between life support systems, unaware that doctors were debating whether to leave him to his fate or keep fighting what seemed a useless battle. His legs blown off below the knee, his skin scorched from his back, face and arms, and one arm badly damaged, the odds against him were high. Bruce refused to relinquish control over the direction of his life and started an emotional and physical battle to regain it. With the help of a dedicated physiotherapist and occupational therapist, Bruce set about learning to walk again on his new prosthesis, after a month of excruciating pain and immense frustration, Bruce took the first steps on his new legs. Today Bruce is an inspiration to us all - running 5 kilometres a day and driving his own car. Bruce chose not to be a victim to his circumstances but to look his new reality squarely in the eye and to overcome adversity. This is a story of hope, and the triumph of the human spirit sure to appeal to anyone looking for an inspirational and motivational read.
