Name: David P., Husband of Katie P.

Age: 48

City: Flagstaff, AZ

Brain Injury:  TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)

Explanation of Brain Injury:  My wife Katie has survived TWO TBI’s from two separate bicycle accidents (she was wearing a helmet both times).

Explanation of Mask:  Walking the path of recovery with my wife has been an adventure. I’ve learned so much about her and about me. The mask symbolizes the SYMPHONY (SOMETIMES CACOPHONY) of experiences that come with brain injury. THE BEAUTY OF THE PROCESS LIES IN ITS INVITATION TO BE PRESENT & TO EXPERIENCE ALL THE PAIN, WONDER, DESPAIR, JOY, HUMOR, SADNESS, & TEARS THAT ACCOMPANY IT.
