Catherine Brubaker is a two-time brain injury survivor. She re-learned how to walk and talk twice and in 2014 she rode her recumbent cycle 5390 miles across the United States to take back her life. As she began telling her story, others began telling her theirs and she realized she was not alone. It was during that journey she realized that people did not see her disability and were unaware of the challenges brain injury survivors and their families face. She found her voice on her journey and has become an advocate for brain injury awareness. She shares her inspirational story of hope around the country speaker to help empower individuals with a powerful message of hope.Catherine founded hopefortrauma.org, an organization committed to advocating for a national conversation about brain injury and providing recumbent cycles and other adaptive equipment directly into the hands of brain injury survivors to that they may reclaim their freedom too.
A documentary will be released in early 2016 to share her story of hope, her journey through recovery and transformation from experiencing extreme trauma to creating Hope For Trauma.
