Ten years ago, Craig Morgan was an accomplished and successful commercial lawyer and people leader at Telstra. He was married with two young daughters and was a top age group triathlete who competed extensively both domestically and overseas. However, on 21 November 2015, Craig's life and that of his family changed forever.

While on a training ride in Geelong, Craig was involved in a devastating hit-and-run accident. The incident left him with life-threatening injuries, including over 30 fractures, two punctured lungs, a bleed on his brain, and catastrophic damage to his spinal cord, resulting in paraplegia. Despite these overwhelming challenges, Craig has shown extraordinary resilience and determination in his journey of survival and rehabilitation.

During his presentation at the Drysdale Football Club, Craig recounted the details of the accident, the arduous process of recovery, and the incredible strength it took to rebuild his life and that of his family. His story is not only a testament to his personal fortitude but also a powerful reminder of the importance of road safety and the profound impact such accidents can have on individuals and their loved ones. The individual who hit Craig has never been found.

This event was a unique opportunity for the community to hear Craig's story firsthand and be inspired by his unwavering spirit and coincides with the TAC band together round serving as a crucial platform for raising awareness about road trauma and the critical need for safer driving practices.
