Nonprofit Overview

Mission: God-speed Origin: 1250–1300 Godspeed: An expression that is listed as archaic in many dictionaries. Although it has been forgotten in the midst of our time, the origin of its meaning is to wish someone well who is about to go on a long and daring journey. This is the story of one such journey. Godspeed: The Story of Page Jones At 22 years old, Page Jones, son of legendary Indianapolis 500 Winner Parnelli Jones and a rising racing star, suffered a severe brain injury during a Sprint Car race. His prognosis was grim. His parents were warned that if he made it through the night, he would be permanently disabled, wheelchair bound and the Page they knew was likely to be lost forever. GODSPEED is an inspirational story about Page’s legacy as a young racing star, the tragedy of his accident, immediate aftermath and the unrelenting support of his family, friends and the racing community. Using historic family footage of Page’s recovery, together with personal and expert medical interviews, GODSPEED will demonstrate the importance of long-term rehabilitative therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury (T.B.I.) patients like Page. GODSPEED will examine the critical role that long-term rehabilitation has had in Page’s ability to recreate a fulfilling, productive and joyous life with his wife, Jamie, and their two children. GODSPEED is about dreams adjusted, simple joys celebrated, and the realization that life is about the moments and we must appreciate today. Page’s life offers hope for those who struggle with Traumatic Brain Injury, their families and friends, helping them understand that they are not alone on this long journey home. Godspeed!
