Kole Joshua Jackson is an Overcomer. He has battled long and hard for 7 years to come back from an accident that caused a myriad of health issues. The battle has been his whole life since he was 10 years old on a youth football field at an evening practice where he received two concussions minutes apart. Those few minutes changed his life. Sadly, he lost his youth and adolescence in that short amount of time.
Heather, my 14-year-old daughter, has severe CRPS which has left her completely bedridden unable to even turn in bed unaided. Every sound, touch or even a gentle breeze can set off extreme pain. A simple thing like me putting on a light switch in a different room causes her agony. She stays in bed all day and cannot go to school anymore as it is simply too painful. She has now missed out on 3 years of her life and just wants to be a normal teenager. This a girl who was a star gymnast from a young age. We have tried every treatment option available to us in South Africa and the relief if any is always short-lived.
