In March 2011, 48-year-old Dave Pearson was surfing in his native Australia when he was suddenly pulled from his board by a 10-foot bull shark.Pearson grappled with the beast as it pulled him beneath the waves, and after miraculously freeing himself from its razor-sharp jaws, he paddled desperately to shore, his raw muscles hanging from the bones of his forearm.Dave survived the attack and doctors were able to save his arm, but in the following months he began to suffer from severe PTSD. Finding few around who could relate to his ordeal - but knowing there were many out there probably suffering in similar isolation - Pearson founded an online support group for fellow shark attack victims.
