Have you had a #BrainInjury and have difficulty getting hired? Scientists at @KesslerFdn are seeking #unemployed persons with a #TBI to participate in a research study. Study is 100% #virtual! You will be compensated if you qualify. Email: [email protected] @biaamerica

I don’t use twitter often, but this seems a worthwhile retweet! The May 3rd accident, where I sustained another head injury, just adds to my first-hand knowledge of these #braininjury things. There is hope for #tbi and #concussion.

I spent years navigating the nuances of whether or not to report sexual misconduct within the ranks. Would I lose my credibility? She lost her life. Help demand an investigation into the #VanessaGuillen disappearance. A missing rifle would’ve been found, STAT. #IAMVANESSAGUILLEN

@HealthfirstNY I have been on the phone with HF almost every day since April. Since nothing has really changed, I figured this approach and a letter to the CEO may help.

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

I do not recommend @HealthfirstNY for anyone dealing with #TBI or #concussion #rehabilitation. Approved surgery “reconsidered and denied” at the final hour. Reconstructed c-spine services denied because I “go hiking.” #Healthfirst or health last? #healthinsurance #accountability

Summited Aconcagua at noon. (Insert all the feels here!) | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/kYMsiBpSsC

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Settled into high camp: Tomorrow is summit day. Heart full of joy; Ran into two men I summited Denali with in May 2018. Small, wonderful world. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/XEG0llIGLC

Plan change: Confirmed there is water at Camp 3 and wind low enough to set up tent. Plan to move there tomorrow then attempt summit Jan 12. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/LL2MBWJNFR

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Daily update: two water runs to stock up & a hike around the area to take some photos, as sun was out. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/4PiPBKF0Np

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Worst weather I've ever experienced. Can't get matching weather reports. FUN. If wind dies will climb to camp 3 tomorrow. 👍🏼 | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/BxQ9xetKs8

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Rest day at camp 2. Made/drank water and ate a lot. Very high winds. Will most likely push for summit from camp 2 when the weather is right. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/26tzErpNDg

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Move from base camp straight to camp 2 was a success. Tough day. Feeling good. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/JnzLNCJPi2

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Acclimation climb to camp 1 today. Storm! Tomorrow moving from base camp to camp 2 - will be quite a haul. Feeling strong and endurance is good. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/QQptXyi5WN

[Amanda Burrill @amanda_burrill]

Great 6 hour acclimation hike today. Still at base camp. | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/Ca6XfNSG58

Rest day today. All is good. ✊🏼 | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/pgCoUkY1wX

Day One was trekking from the #Aconcagua park entrance to Camp Confluencia. I am not a fan of trekking in hot weather, but it’s a necessary three day undertaking to get to Plaza de Mulas (basecamp), unless you’re… https://t.co/JRVCKoIx8R
