It is inevitable that, at some point, everyone will confront some sort of challenge, adversity, or obstacle in life. Survivor, Brandon Harrison, however, faced more than a challenge. His cancer diagnosis at a young age came with a slim twenty-five percent chance of surviving through childhood, only then to suffer two hemorrhagic strokes in his teens. Brandon Harrison chose to claim his life back and raise money by longboarding across Canada with his father, Michael.
Tragically, Harrison’s trip was cut short when he suffered a third hemorrhagic stroke at their second Heart and Stroke fundraiser and he woke up from a coma half-paralyzed on his twentieth birthday. After learning to stand, walk, and ride again, Harrison would finish his cross-country mission on the third-year anniversary of the day he nearly lost his life from the paralyzing stroke. |
