Donate TodayWhen professional skier Jamie MoCrazy suffered a serious traumatic brain injury following a ski accident, her life was flipped upside down. With the support of her family and medical community, Jamie not only survived, but made a full recovery, helping revolutionize early stage TBI treatment, change protocol surrounding family involvement, and now inspiring others.
This award-winning documentary film takes viewers through Jamie’s story winding up in present day Whistler BC, where Jamie is about to get married to the love of her life, Reggie Clark. Using a mix of archival, reenactments, verité and interview footage, we recount how Jamie overcame her accident and TBI and charted a path in helping others through their injuries.
Jamie’s inspirational story shows the importance of a positive mindset, reframing challenges, person centered care and family support to overcome any potential challenges in your way.
This award-winning film highlights the invisible challenges TBI survivors and their family caregivers face during recovery. We want to give hope and inspiration that you can have a complete recovery after a TBI and showcase how to make that happen.
Jamie’s story centers around person-centered care and the healing options anyone can use to live a complete life after TBI. She received care from her medical team as well as family caregivers led by her mom. She also received opportunities to recover like being a High Fives Grant Athlete, Utah TBI Fund recipient, and going back to skiing with the National Ability Center.
Jamie received complementary medicine treatments led by her mom, who is now in her PhD on mind-body medicine with a focus on TBI recovery. Many aspects of Jamie’s recovery are miraculous, and the incredible fact is most of those improvements are re-creatable for other individuals!
By telling Jamie’s story we hope to ignite a passion in the minds of TBI survivors and family caregivers for inspiration that they can recover. We also want to show those involved in policy change the importance and role through TBI recovery of family involvement, person centered practices, complementary medicine and healing opportunities.
