A MESSAGE FROM Run For Spencer
Thank you so much for helping to support the Brain Injury Association of New York State and giving a voice to brain injury!
As many of you may know, this is a cause very near and dear to my heart.
At 16, my little brother, Spencer, was involved in a car wreck where he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma for weeks and lifelong rehabilitation.
Because of programs like the Brain Injury Association of New York State, my brother, now at the age of 30, is able to live a more fulfilled and happy life. Not only my brother but our whole family has been impacted for the better due to these organizations. If it was not for them, I would not have been able to go to college and my parents would not be able to live a relatively normal life. Beyond this, the community, friendship, and support that this program provides to people around the country with similar stories is literally life-changing.
Thank you again for your support and I am humbled by the generosity and kindness of everyone who has ever lent a helping hand.
Spencer and I will see you at the finish line.
