Andy - participant, father, joke teller, inspiration

Andy and his daughter are regular participants in our Acquired Brain Injury Program, where families in which a parent has a brain injury are able to get out and hike, rock climb, camp and enjoy the outdoors. Andy loves the way that the Power To Be staff "get it" - and he can be in an environment where he doesn't have to do anything but build a positive relationship with his daughter.
