Annie Domville, our #TBITuesday feature, has been recovering from her brain injury from a boating accident for 12 years now. She lost so much of her blood and suffered several strokes, resulting in losing most of her vision and paralysis throughout much of her body. But through music therapy with Stephen and Christopher Yang, she has regained motor capability in her right wrist and fingers, can move both of her arms, and can play melodies on the piano. She continues her improvement every day. We all cheer your progress and celebrate your accomplishments Annie!

Our featured #TBITuesday survivor is one that everyone at SDBIF knows well and loves to be around: Kyle Cooprider, or as he likes to be known, "Van Kyle with a Smile". Since he suffered a brain injury following an automobile accident in Germany in 1989, Kyle has discovered his gifts as an artist. He is one of our Honorary Committee members for our Friendraiser in September and we are always thrilled to have him around!

Our featured survivor for this week's #TBITuesday is none other than San Diego's, Jacalyn! After a serious car accident she had to relearn how to walk, talk and even feed herself...but that didn't slow her down. She is now a graduate of the occupational therapy assistant program at Grossmont College and is looking to help others recovering from brain injury. She is also holding her 2nd annual garage sale on July 29 from 6am-2pm to raise awareness and funds for brain injury. See the attached flyer for more information!
