Name: Chris C.

City: Phoenix, AZ

Brain Injury: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) and APHASIA. I was going 75mph on my motorcycle when a car cut in front of me causing me to drop to the ground. The person in the car took off. The people behind me saved my life!

Explanation of mask:  The black side represents my injury. When I woke up, I thought I was in New York, but I wasn’t. I moved down here to go to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) to work on motorcycles, but that is not an option now. The other side represents me in the Air Force. I was in Alaska and overseas twice to Afghanistan and Qatar. I was a staff sergeant when I got out. Now I am rebuilding my life until the end! I thank everyone around me, they are great to me for helping me out.
