April 30, 2015 Posted by Cavin Balaster Blog 2 Comments

Hey everyone! It’s been a little bit since I’ve given you all an update, and I’m excited to make this announcement. It has been an eventful few months, and I’ll tell you all about it (maybe Alek and I will do a podcast about some of it), but right now, I’m walking at my treadmill desk, and putting together my keynote speech that I am scheduled to present for The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey on May 14th!

From the 2015 BIANJ Annual Brochure (click for a pdf of the whole brochure)

I am so excited to meet and to join with this group of Doctors, Therapists, Neurologists, Neuropsychologists, survivors and caretakers, Neurobiologists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and so many others who are involved in the rehabilitation of the brain. This is gonna be fun!

I am so honored!

WoW! I feel so honored, so greatful I have been connected with Cavin! He is an Alike soul, just halirious to start out, but so much more. He has provided me a spot to crash as I am in Austin Texas from Canada and he is a huge help in my healing! I have also been through a T.B.I while I was snowboarding in canada(view my web to view my info/ read my story: http://www.AheadKnowit.com) Cavin is working NON STOP every second!! He is preparing for his speech, working for his nutrionalist, doing school and working hard on his book. The viewer of his speech on may 14th will be blown away, I’ve had the privilege to watch him practice it, he blows me away with his speaking skills, EVERYTHIBG else, and his help in healing me on my final mile!

Thanks Cavin; Your the man!
