Mike and his family’s life were completely changed by this incident, and as is common with brain injuries of this magnitude, continues to face multiple challenges as a result… compromised vision, memory loss and fatigue being just a few. Mike Aitken’s journey and recovery has been an exceptional and highly inspirational one.
