From the second that I heard my neck snap, the first people I thought about were my mother and father. This is the last thing that a parent wants to see, their son lying there and nothing that they can do. With my parents by my side, every day we have started an unbelievable organization to help others who deal with SCI, and we will continue to do so because that is our family make up. But we cannot sit still as a family. We make sure that the Brown family leads by example, which is how we all grow up in our community, to help others in so many ways. Mom and Dad, thank you for being there, and I am sorry for putting you through this, but if they had to pick a family to do this to better us than the next guy. My dad might be very quiet when you meet him, but he can move mountains--and just get out of my mom's way because she will not let anybody stop her from trying to do what you have to do to help others. We all work together to help others. Mom and Dad, thank you for being by my side. You are for me and so many others the Power of We. For more information about our Power of We Campaign, visit:
