Brain Injury:  Motorcycle Accident

Explanation of Mask: Prior to my brain injury, I was an auto technician by trade because I love everything dealing with the automotive industry. I even saved up enough money to buy a brand new motorcycle. Seven years ago, I was riding my motorcycle when suddenly a white van sped through a red light and I t-boned the side of it. I was wearing a helmet, but ironically it saved my life and killed me at the same time. I sustained serious head injuries from my helmet and was immediately transported to the hospital in a helicopter. I died nine times while on the flight. I have black Xs on my mask because each spot with and X represents where I had broken bones.
