STROKE – BIKING – LIFE!

There are MANY more organizations across the country, books, and websites with great information that I have not listed. These are a few that my publisher and I have personal knowledge of and believe can be useful to you in your search for help. Whether you’re brain injured, yourself, or the caregiver for someone who is, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. You’re truly not alone in this, even though at times it may feel that way. I’d like to hear from you.
