My Nonprofit Reviews

I returned hone from Iraq in October of 2007. Upon returning I started getting really bad headaches. I first went to the Ann Arbor VA, they kept telling me that I just had post concussive syndrome and the only treatment I would receive from them was medicine. I became frustrated and felt that the VA was missing something. During that time period I went to the "Tips-Up for the troops" fishing tournament which was set up by the BIAMI. While at the tournament I was able to briefly talk with Rick Briggs and he became very intterested in my situation. The next week he contacted me and asked if there was anything he could do to help me, I explained the situation to him and within two weeks he had gotten me into see one of the best neurologists in the state of Michigan. The neurologist diagnosed me with TBI and I began getting physical therapy and this has helped me tremendously. To this day I still receive e-mails from Rick asking how I am doing. I am very thankful that Rick and the BIAMI reached out and helped me like they have to many other troops.
