My Mission
In 1991 my sixth grade health teacher mentioned that students had been asking questions about me and she didn't feel comfortable answering them herself. I will never forget what she said next; "Courtney, I think its time that you to share your story." That is when my speaking career began, in the sixth grade when I was eleven years old with a microphone attached to me, sharing my survival story. On October 9th 1988, when I was eight years old I was in a serious car accident, suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since then I have made it my mission to educate people about TBI and how it can affect your life. If I can reach just one person, I will have achieved my goal.
Courtney's most recent speaking engagement was at St Mary's Parish Longmeadow, MA 01106 . In preparing her talk, she discovered the work of Saint John Licci. Although not widely known, he is a powerful intercessor for those suffering from head injuries.
St. John Licci is recognized as one of the Church’s longest-living holy men, reaching the age of 111. He spent his life in a small town near Palermo, Sicily, and became renowned for his miracles. Among these, he blessed a widow whose breadbox remained miraculously full, sustaining her and her six children; he protected parishioners’ cattle from disease; and he healed three people with crushed heads. Because of these miracles, St. John Licci was named the Patron Saint of Head Injuries.
