~About the Film:
Traumatic brain injury is a horrible way to lose your mind. Doug Markgraf would know. On May 31, 2006, he was involved in a hit-and-run accident while riding his bicycle in a bike lane in West Philadelphia. In the collision, Doug shattered bones, helmet, bicycle – and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Lying in a coma for half a month, doctors refused to acknowledge that his condition would allow anything similar to a complete recovery. And, the last thing they ever expected was that he would awaken, recover, and return to the bike. But, he did. And now he’s on a mission to inspire other TBI survivors, and surprise everyone.
