“It Will Never Happen to Me” – Traumatic Brain Injury Through a Bikers Eyes
Brain Injury Florida, Inc. is a new BIAA statewide affiliate serving the projected 899,924 Floridians impacted by acquired brain injury! And like all “start-ups”, we have relied on volunteers for our purpose, and progress made to date.
In an organizational callout for volunteers we met Tim, a recent survivor, who offered his interest, and talents, in website development and social media. In getting to know Tim, through his volunteer activities, we learned of his love of motorcycles and the accident, in 2020, that almost took his life. In battling back from his catastrophic injuries, over the following two years, Tim found that sharing his experiences was therapeutic, so much so that Tim decided to write a book about his journey. Recently completed, “It Will Never Happen to Me, Traumatic Brain Injury Through a Biker’s Eyes” is in print and being self-published.
Sharing one’s experiences, and expectations, is invaluable for both an effective recovery, and a supportive advocacy organization!
Thanks Tim! And thanks to all of the volunteers who have helped to rebuild Brain Injury Florida!
