Jason Crigler "Books On The Shelf"

We do a feature every Thursday on the station called “Person Of The Week,” where we focus on an individual or organization that’s doing something to benefit the community.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month so I spoke with the folks at nearby Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, because they are having an event next week, featuring Jason Crigler.

You may have seen a documentary about Jason on PBS.

In short, Jason was a young guitarist, who suffered a debilitating stroke. Watch the video below to see just how profound the damage was. Then watch through to the end, to see just how far he’s come. And what is possible.

I’m getting emotional just writing about it.

I had kind of a shitty day today. Well . . . this video set my ass straight about what trouble really is, and about how you should respond to it.


See the video on Youtube.
