Imagine the challenge of completing a 1,500 piece puzzle with no defined borders, no picture for reference, no single point when you can say it's completed. Imagine an injury that alters your ability to think, to reason, to comprehend. Traumatic Brain Injury is an assault on your cognitive abilities, an injury to your brain's ability to communicate not only with others, but with your own body. It's an injury that damages the most precious of all things; your individuality, your personality, your "self", who you are. These are the things we take most for granted, yet these are the very challenges that the magnificent Phoenix must overcome. Imagine yourself in these shoes as we are all a single misstep away from such an injury. There is no cure, no bones to mend, no drugs to make you well.

Recovery is as much a matter of adjustment as it is of improvement, and both are life-long struggles and commitments. In the midst of the flames, a Phoenix is frequently written off, only to persevere and improve well beyond the prognosis through determination and fortitude, rising again to magnificence. Such is the life of the modern-day Phoenix. These are not myths, these are truly miracles, performed daily by the Phoenix. We hope you'll believe in them, and support their astonishing feats.
