| It can Happen IN AN INSTANT - car accident, a fall, a sports injury, a stroke, an aneurysm, a brain tumor...and the lives of everyone involved are changed forever.
1.5 million Americans sustain a brain injury each year which means an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with a brain injury. Every 21 seconds an infant, teenager, or adult sustains a traumatic brain injury. Studies show that there are more people living with a brain injury than any other disease or disability combined.
The consequences of Brain Injuries are life altering - physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral difficulties that last a lifetime. Many of our soldiers are returning from war with Brain Injuries.
I am very passionate about this as I suffered a brain injury 13 years ago and another one two years ago. The doctors said my life would never be the same, I wouldn't be able to hold down a job or function in Mainstream Society - well, I'm living proof that anything is possible. With God's help and qualified medical people I am working full time and living in Mainstream Society.
In an effort to help Brain Injury Survivors, I am walking to raise awareness and money to help survivors and their families deal with living with a brain injury.
Together we can make a difference. Won't You PLEASE Help!!! |
