Name: Brittany B., Granddaughter of Robert (Bob) B.

City: Goodyear, AZ

Brain Injury: In 2012 my Grandpa Bob was in a hang-gliding accident. He spent a month in a coma. After the coma he spent months in the hospital and in-patient rehab fighting to get his life back.

Explanation of mask:  The top half of the mask shows Grandpa Bob hang gliding every chance he got. I would stand at the top of the mountain and cheer him on, yelling “UP GRANDPA UP!” It was our most favorite thing to do. I loved telling all the tourists who would gather to watch about him and what he was doing. The bottom of the mask shows my Grandpa on the couch, his new favorite place to be. The words surrounding him are the words I am always saying to him now. After doing this project, I realize I need to be more positive and uplifting towards him.
