Extensive physical therapy and a determined attitude helps this runner put one foot in front of the other.

Then, on June 24, 2022, my life changed. I was sick that day, so I stayed home from work. Usually my husband picks up our daughters, but he was running late and asked if I could. It was raining really badly, and my car ended up hydroplaning into an electricity pole. Fortunately, I was alone in the car and the pole hit the passenger side. Firefighters rushed me to a hospital and the surgeon that performed my brain surgery told my husband that he didn’t know if I would make it through the night.

As a result of the accident I was diagnosed with a severe traumatic brain injury that required multiple surgeries, and I was transferred to Shepherd Center in Atlanta for a few weeks of treatment. Fortunately, I woke up on the third day, but my memory did not come back until the middle of August 2022. The last thing I remembered was the Monday before the crash, when a friend and I went to a Backstreet Boys concert.
