My Story

On March 22, 2006, the trajectory of my life changed forever from a ski accident in Jackson Hole, WY. I sustained a traumatic brain injury from a fall while competing in a big mountain ski event. After spending three weeks in the intensive care unit at a regional trauma center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, I eventually was flown to Craig Hospital in Denver for rehab and a chance to gain my life back. I was admitted to Craig Hospital in April of 2006 and eventually discharged to a new home in Boulder, CO with my family in August of 2006 where I continued my rehab. 

Although my life has changed drastically since that day in March of 2006, I am forever grateful for all of my family, friends, and medical support I have received. Craig Hospital provides care to individuals and families affected by TBI and SCI. Currently they are fundraising for a capital campaign to increase their capacity and programs to support individuals and families like me. 

Please consider donating to this project. On Saturday, September 9th we’re trying to reach new elevations for Craig Hospital by riding to the top of Independence Pass in Aspen, CO. Joining me on my ride will be my wife, Jamie and my parents, Wendy & Ritter. We’ll be connecting with new friends from Craig Hospital and raising money for Craig Hospital’s capital campaign. 

I have been immensely fortunate for all the services, support, and love I continue to receive from my friends, family, and community. Please join me in giving to Craig Hospital. Thank you. 

Love,

Charlie
