Thank you for the compliments! I am headed to Israel where my fiance is running the Jerusalem marathon and I am running a 10k.

You have incredible strength and perserverance. Best of luck.

As a young bicyclist 35 years ago, I was lucky to avoid hitting my head in a high-speed accident but had a serious knee injury. I am starting a campaign to urge people to use bicycle helmets in the L.A. area.

Thankyou for telling your story.

I also have a brain injury after surviving Encephalitis in november 2005.

I I no longer work as i suffer with extreme fatigue, pain in my head, legs and back and i use a walking stick when outside. I was 38 when i got my injury and have had many occasions since when life has been so difficult i have often wished i had died instead of surviving. But i have three kids who need me and are my reason for living .

God bless you... keep on keeping on.

I was in an accident when I was 7. It's very hard to deal with brain injury. You're lucky you had such a family. Thanks for your story.
