I walk in honor of my nephew. He was recently in a terrible car accident. Just 20 years old with a baby due any day, he was struck by a truck while riding his motorcycle. Stuck in a coma with severe brain damage and the need to amputate one leg and the other paralized, we feared his life would be taken from us.
By the grace of God & Keyo's fighting spirit, he survived and eventually woke from his comma to meet his new baby girl.
The road to recovery & rehabilitation is a long one, especially when it comes to brain damage. But every day he grows stronger. Slowly, but surely he is making progress to being able to function and live a more normal life...
I have registered to participate in the 9th Annual Walk for Brain Injury in San Francisco in support of the Brain Injury Association of California (BIACAL). The Walk in San Francisco will attract close to 200 participants and will take place on Saturday, July 16th around Lake Merced.
We will gather at the Pomeroy Recreation & Rehabilitation Center and I hope you will consider joining me at this event or consider a donation to help me achieve my fundraising goals.
Funds raised will be directed towards the following programs and services:
Provide information and resources to thousands of Californians each year.
Education through conferences and presentations across the state.
Prevention programs.
Increase public awareness of brain injury through events and community outreach across the state.
Update the BIACAL Website that will include a community blog
Provide the latest information about brain injury research on the BIACAL website and post active studies being conducted across the state.
Seed new support groups across the state and initiate a monthly Webinar support group for those unable to attend in-person meetings.
Legislative Advocacy on behalf of all Californians living with brain injury.
