Oftentimes the people who live life with the most passion and purpose have come the closest to facing death.

This is certainly the case for Steve Bottrill.

The Chatham man's life changed forever on March 22, 1996.

He was two weeks from writing his final exams to earn a history degree from the University of Carleton in Ottawa with a spot already secured at teacher's college.

Returning home for the weekend to finalize plans for his marriage, the vehicle Bottrill was a passenger in hit a patch of ice on Grand Avenue East, near Prince Albert Road, and he took the full brunt of a collision with an oncoming vehicle.

Steve went through physiotherapy to get back on his feet against all odds and won.
