What to expect
For years living was a fate worse than death for Dan Biddle. In a moment of someone else’s madness, he lost all meaning to his existence along with both his legs, his left eye, his spleen and all hearing in his left ear.
His body and mind were devastated on 7 July 2005, during the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil. It took ten seconds to disassemble him. It’s taken twenty years for him to find the inner peace and brutal honesty reveal his daily battle to go on surviving.
The against-the-odds story of his triumphs and joy will astonish. His battle with bureaucracy and despair will anger and shock.
The extraordinary love story that keeps him alive will inspire.
