After a serious ATV accident in Lovelock, NV, Julie's life was forever changed. Thanks to the life-saving surgery performed by Dr. Edward Perry, a board-certified neurosurgeon at Swift Institute, she’s here today to share an important message: Wear Your Helmet!

Julie suffered traumatic brain injuries and faced a long road to recovery with occupational, physical, and speech therapy. Despite the challenges, her determination led to an incredible comeback.

For her 32nd birthday, Julie returned to Reno to thank Dr. Perry in person—a moment that inspired us all. Today, she cherishes her time with family and enjoys staying active outdoors.

Let Julie’s story be a reminder of how important it is to prioritize safety.
