Event Details

Join us for a special ski/snowboard day, and screening of the award-winning documentary film #MoCrazyStrong

WV Traumatic Brain Injury Services in collaboration with MoCrazyStrong Foundation and Challenged Athletes of West Virginia invite you to a public screening of #MoCrazyStrong, followed by a Q&A panel, and social meet and greet with food and entertainment.

When professional skier Jamie MoCrazy suffered a serious traumatic brain injury following a ski accident, her life cartwheeled upside down. With the educated support of her family and medical caregivers, Jamie not only survived, but made a full recovery, helping revolutionize early stage TBI treatment, changing protocol surrounding family involvement, and now inspiring others.

This award-winning documentary film takes viewers through Jamie’s MoCrazy Strong story, interviewing Jamie’s ICU neuro doctor, the first responder who intubated Jamie on the mountain and a family the MoCrazy Strong team has given peer-to-peer brain injury guidance.

This event is a part of the Alive to Thrive Day events February 27-28, 2025 at Canaan Valley Resort. Alive to Thrive Day will offer an all-abilities ski day with the founders of the MoCrazy Strong Foundation and Challenged Athletes of West Virginia for individuals who have experienced a traumatic brain injury.
