Following a brain injury that changes your life completely, how do you start to move forward to experience all that life has for you? And yes, life still does hold much for you, but you just have to perhaps look a little more creatively for it. The injury is definitely a life changer, but it makes you look in new directions to adapt your lifestyle to do things you used to do or to find new outlets.

Adaptive snow skiing and water skiing (both known as sit skiing--just depends on if you are on the snow or water!) have become highlights of our lives after Bruce's injury. He was a hotdog snow skiier and water skiier before and thought he'd never be able to do them again. However, through Shepherd Center and a group called Alpine Adaptive Scholarship Program, he has been able to experience both--in Aspen, CO, Breckenridge, CO, and Lake Allatoona in Georgia. Explore the internet for adaptive ability activities such as painting, gardening, biking, skiing,etc.
