Tomorrow is ! We continue the countdown today with Adam Cobb’s story: A vibrant Purdue University student, Adam embodies the power of perseverance. Meeting him today, you would never guess that months ago, he was fighting for his life.
On March 1, Adam was struck by a car while crossing the street near Purdue’s campus. He remembers nothing of the accident, but the consequences were devastating: a traumatic brain injury ( ), multiple intercapsular hemorrhages, and little hope.
After 20 days in a coma, Adam began a long road back—first at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI), where intensive therapy helped him walk again with minimal assistance. But Adam wasn’t content to stop there. Determined to push beyond expectations, he set his sights on returning to Purdue. Unfortunately, like many neurological injury survivors, his insurance-covered PT visits ran out just as he was making major progress.
Thanks to the donors and supporters that make our extended care programs possible, Adam found the bridge he needed to continue therapy at the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center powered by NeuroHope during the critical months after his injury. Here, he’s been working tirelessly toward his goals. One milestone has been especially meaningful: relearning to dribble a basketball. “At first, I couldn’t dribble at all,” Adam said. “And now I can do over 100 dribbles!” For a right-handed player recovering from a left-side brain injury, this achievement reflects extraordinary dedication.
Today, Adam is back on campus part-time, and his work at NeuroHope continues!
