We lost one of the people that we serve yesterday. This is a reminder of how deeply caregivers care. It's part of what gives us the ability to do the job we do.

My name is Heather. I'm responsible for managing social media for Phoenix. On 4/26/18, I was riding my Harley when truck failed to yield right-of-way and I T-boned him at 50 mph. My body is broken, but thx to my gear I survived, & I don't have a TBI. Please, always wear a helmet.

We hope Juan's story leads to more study & better diagnoses for BI survivors who go into a vegetative state. It would be wonderful for their families to have better info for making hard decisions, and for better therapies to be developed to help them
