Matt's Story

I was once in a serious auto accident with many major broken bones and vertebrae in my neck, capped off with traumatic brain injury, followed by more than ten weeks of coma.

Remember when you think you’ve applied every ounce of effort you have to reach back and give it one more try. ~Matt~ Failure is the first step to success. Think about that one.
