Al Foxx offers a unique presentation in regards to brain injuries, physical and speech therapy, and providing hope to those who are in recovery programs. There are individuals who are disabled, but they do not have speaking skills. There are others who have speaking skills but are not disabled. Al is both disabled and has excellent speaking skills. Disabled from a motorcycle crash over 20 years ago, Al was told he would never walk, talk understandably, or drive legally. He now drives to his presentations, limps on stage, and shares a powerful message. Even the most injured and disabled are able to find encouragement after listening to Al's message of "Winners Don't Quit". Al's life is a testimony of how a person can improve if they are willing to "pay the price" of physical and psychological recovery. Al's presentations are very 'real', he not only shares the good times, but shares the hard times of his recovery. He lets his audience know that recovery takes work, but it is well worth it. Al admits there are certain things he cannot do, but he has learned to adapt with his disability and find joy in the things he is able to do. Not only will your residents find hope, but your employees will see living proof of how their work can make a difference in someone's life.

Brain Injury Association of
Washington Dear Mr. Foxx: On behalf of all of us at the Brain Injury Association of Washington and the nearly 300 people who attended BIAWA’S Annual Conference on October 17,1998, I want to thank you for the excellent comedy routine that you performed at the conclusion of the conference. Your half hour program was the culmination of a conference that offered education and hope. Your presentation provided comic relief, laughter and insight into not only brain injury, but into life. I hope that you had an opportunity to see the expressions on the faces that you were entertaining. You, through your comedy, touched upon the pain and difficulties that people face in a way that brought laughter and joy. Thumbs up were evident all around the room. You touched many lives on October 17th, mine included. Thank you for the gift of laughter that you provided. You are an inspiration and received rave reviews from all in attendance. If I can assist you in any way, please contact me at 425-895-0047. With Warmest Regards,
