On a dark and rainy Christmas Eve, Chris Boyd went out to help a stranded friend.

He hydroplaned and crashed into a tree near the MD/PA line. He was 19.

How in the world do you turn such heartache around?
You create a foundation, and that leads to a legacy, and that leads to an incredible tribute.

His friend suggested Christopher Boyd Lilly Pads.

So, Aberdeen Restore took on branches from mom and sliced them into drink coaster look-a-likes. She bought plastic toy frogs off Amazon and suddenly a craze was born.

The first lily pad was left in New Jersey. It was found a day later.

Now, its been in 59 countries and all 50 states.
