POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’m participating in the upcoming 9/11 Heroes Ruck 5K in New York City this Saturday with Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) in honor of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

This event commemorates and honors those lost during 9/11 as well as the service members and veterans living with severe disabilities from the global war on terror.

This is my first 5K I’ll be doing independently and marks a big milestone in my rehabilitation.

TMF empowers veterans and families of the fallen to develop character in future generations and every dollar you donate makes a direct impact.

Help me honor the heroes of 9/11 and my fellow veterans who stepped up to serve in the wars that followed. Donate to my fundraiser today and help me support this incredible mission!

🧠 •This• is what recovery from traumatic brain injury looks like.

📈 My recovery from multiple TBIs began in earnest in 2022 when my treatment plan was overhauled.

🎶 Thanks to a new team and new focus I was put into #adaptivesports and neurologic music therapy alongside specialized speech, recreation, physical and occupational therapy.

🦿Getting sensory and neural prosthetics and devices for vision, hearing, gait and respiratory function as well as services to adapt to my new life as The Bionic Woman were essential.

🙌 These aren’t just sports goals… they all translate directly to functional independence.

🚷 I was •barely• using a walker in 2022.

🎿🏅🏹🏋️‍♀️🧘‍♀️4 years of clinical services + fantastic clinics with @adaptivetraining @adaptivetrainingfoundation @higherground_usa @adaptivesportsassociation + equipment support and coaching from @hope4warriors and my fantastic personal trainer and gym from @cafoundation came together to create this miracle on a mountainside.
