Story
My name is Rose Brown and I am 22 years old. When I was aged 12 I was hit by a drunk driver and left with an acquired brain injury. My recovery has been a very long process when i started getting better I could not communicate as I can no longer talk. Find A voice was a great help in directing me and my family to the right places to help me find a voice again. I now use a voca machine which i use head switches to select words and talk with. I would like to give back to find a voice so they can help more people who need help to find there voices.
Also before the accident I loved horses and started horse riding. I can no longer at the moment so I would like to also help horses that need to be looked after
As explained I was hit by a drunk driver and left in a wheelchair. All my therapies are on going and I have been working hard to ride a bike. I aim to do a bike ride of 10 miles over 7 weeks. I manage just under 2 miles a week and Im going to work hard to achieve my goal. I aim to start this in January and i attend gym every Monday so I will post an update at the end of every session to show you all how well I am doing.
I will also post a video of me doing this so you can all see just how much hard work and effort this is for me. I feel with all the help and support I have received in my recovery I feel I would like to give something back and have decided this is how Id like to do this. I would like to thank you all for reading my story and look forward to taking part in this challenge and for you all to see my progress each week.
And in advance I would like to thank every one for any donations received as these are 2 charities close to my heart and it would feel great for me to achieve my goal. Please feel free to leave any words of any encouragement and support they would be greatly received
