My husband, Ted, suffered a terrible brain injury in 2003. He lost all sensation on his left side, and after weeks of hospitalization, had to relearn how to walk. His ability to play tennis, ski, sail, and hike were gone. In an instant his career ended. Colleagues gone. Friends slowly disappeared.
A few years later Ted discovered the Krempels Center which became the foundation of his social life. There he made new friends, all of whom understood loss. They shared, cared for each other, and explored new activities and places.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Krempels Center.
And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering a donation, as most Krempels members need a scholarship to attend.
Although Ted is no longer able to ride his bike, I'll be riding mine on the 12th of October!
King Challenge 2024
The King Challenge is a fundraising event benefiting the David Krempels Brain Injury Center, a Portsmouth, NH based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with brain injury.
The David Krempels Brain Injury Center's misson is to improve the quality of life of people living with brain injury through evidence-based programming, shared experiences, and support in a welcoming community.
KBIC was founded in 1995 by David Krempels, who, after surviving a traumatic car accident resulting in a brain injury, invested his time and money to support other brain injury survivors and their families.
