Justin's Story

Welcome to Justin's webpage. On September 27, 2003 Justin was doing what he loves best, playing football. Two and a half minutes before the half, UW-Eau Claire had just scored their second touchdown. Justin was charging down the field on the kick off and made helmet contact with another player. Unfortunately, Justin was critically injured on this play. He was transported to River Falls Hospital by ambulance and then air lifted to St. Paul Regions Hospital. Justin was diagnosed with a blood clot on his brain. He immediately underwent surgery to remove the clot and stop the bleeding.

In response to many inquires into how one can donate to Justin's Recovery Fund, the following address is being provided.

Hay everyone I hope everything in your lives are only getting better each and every day. Through determination to strive for greatness in everything you are involved in. Everything on my end is going great. I just celebrated 10 years at my job which is a big accomplishment for me. Over the years I’ve made mention of different awards I’ve received. Like employee of the month and employee of the year. Well about a month ago I was at my work station and my boss asked me to come to his office. At first I thought I did something wrong because this never happens. When I got there there was a lady sitting there. My boss then told me that I’ve been nominated for a National award. She asked me a variety of different questions. So I just spoke from my heart. As to what this job has done for me and people like me. I didn’t hear anything for a couple weeks. Then we had our year end awards banquet. They gave out a lot of different awards. So I was thinking that I must not have gotten anything because they had just given the employee of the year and that’s normally the last one. All of a sudden they said that they have one more. They then started reading this 5 minute bio on me on the things I do and have done over the years. My heart went from beating normally to racing in a matter of seconds. That was the most amazing moment I’ve ever expected. I was awarded National employee of the year and will be going on an all paid trip to Washington DC. I have always said in past updates to just take first step you don’t to see the whole stair case. Just go out and do the thing you think you cannot do. If I would have let the fear of going to unfamiliar places and doing new things I wouldn’t be where I am today. I believe in each and every one of you out there and never forget that ACTION CONQUERS FEAR. Go out and get it. All the best Justo
