Time for celebration
Milestone - first professional conference since Mandi's accident
April 24, 2025 was my first attendance at a professional conference since my accident. This was the Minnesota Brain Injury Conference in Brooklyn Park, MN.
Not only did I have a great turnout for my breakout session presentation discussing my experience of going from neurology provider to patient, but I received the Elinor D. Hands Outstanding Achievement Award.
This award goes to an individual with brain injury, family member, provider, or advocate who has significantly advanced the cause of brain injury or who exemplifies accomplishment after brain injury.
I am honored to have been nominated for this award, and fully plan to continue advancing the cause!
