Thesis



People everyday, all around the world, suffer
from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), some more
serious than others, but still very detrimental to
the brain and its functioning.
Personal Relevance


Wanted to help Support the Austin Family
Want to raise awareness of Traumatic Brain Injuries
I have developed a bond with Shannon Austin simply by
being a part of her life, and want people to know what
happened because I don’t want it to happen to any of the
people in my life.
A member of the Community of Caring
