Some people become victims to tragic, life changing events.  For others, those same events neither define nor deter them – they simply become integrated experiences that shape and sculpt their lives.

For April Holmes, one of those life changing moments occurred 11 years and 9 days ago, but the day is often overlooked.  April explains, “It just doesn’t seem that important.  The actual day of my accident always passes before I realize it.”

On January 23, 2001 April and her boyfriend were preparing to board a train in Philadelphia destined for New York.  Most of the details of the day have been forgotten.  “I’m sure it was cold outside, but the sun was shining and it was very bright.  We were running late.”
