Hi Everyone,

It's been a momentous 5 months of rehabilitation and I'm excited to share that I've officially been accepted to the NeuroRecovery Network rehabilitation program at Craig Hospital. The program is in partnership with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and provides cutting-edge clinical rehabilitation and activity-based therapies that promote functional recovery and improve the health and overall quality of life for people living with paralysis.

I'm already two weeks into a 3-month program, of a 3 hour per day intense training regimen. This includes Locomoto training which focuses on NeuroMuscular electrical stimulation, during walking, cycling, cardio/aerobic fitness and strength training therapies.

I have weekends off, but I'm sore as hell. You can check out some of my work out videos here: https://goo.gl/eKK6Ma

I wanted to thank you all again for your love and support, it's truly the momentum that encouraged my admission into the NRN.

I'm also happy to report that Kristin and I were invited as guests of honor, to Craig Hospital's annual PUSH Gala on April 28th, which raises more than $500,000 of patient assistance funds. Looking forward to sharing the video with everyone next month.

Thanks to my new van, I've been able to catch a football and hockey game, tons of concerts, and looking forward to returning to Red Rocks to see Phil Lesh next month.

Much love,

Brian

A phenomenal Westworld article on the Bluegrass Benefit Concert & community!

On an August afternoon, a group of friends was relaxing and listening to music from a pontoon on the reservoir at Cherry Creek State Park when Brian Jung dove into shallow water and hit his head against the hard bottom, severely damaging several vertebrae in his back.
