Thousands of people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year. Life for them and their loved ones can be difficult as they try to regain their independence.
A new video helps them understand what to expect. The 30-minute documentary, called "Living With a Traumatic Brain Injury" chronicles the lives of four patients living with traumatic brain injury and shares information from experts at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington about the effects of brain injury.
The documentary runs regularly on UWTV. You can also watch it online.
One of the things that I love best about the Pacific Northwest is all the outdoor activities. A special camp introduces children with asthma to the outdoors and it needs your help to continue.
The American Lung Association says the camp teaches children how to control their asthma. Not only does that allow them to enjoy the outdoors, they also miss less school.
Fundraising efforts, however, are running behind.
You can help by donating at the
American Lung Association of Washington's web site.
The 95.7 KJR-FM concert listings just keep growing. It's going to be an incredible summer here: Tom Petty, the Doobie Brothers, James Taylor -- just a few of the great artists coming to town this summer.
And just this past week, we announced that the Steve Miller Band is coming to the Gorge, August 2nd.
Make sure you keep your radios set to 95.7 KJR-FM. You'll be the first to know when a new show is announced, and you never know when we'll give you a chance to win free tickets!
