Meet Passion, a 15-year-old from Salisbury. Like most teenage guys, he is full of energy and loves sports, especially basketball. In fact, most days you could find Passion on the court with his friends shooting hoops. Last September, Passion took a fall while playing basketball and the injury to his head was severe enough to require surgery, during which he suffered a stroke. After hospitalization, five surgeries, and a great deal of therapy, Passion is learning all over again to walk, talk, and play the game he loves.
Even though Passion has been presented with life-changing challenges, his spirit is very upbeat! When we met Passion for the first time he was smiling and we even got a little singing and dancing, needless to say, he has worked hard to get back to where he is now and the road to recovery will continue.
