Regional TV news piece: Brooklyn Aleksic, a 20-year-old UVic student and curler from Abbotsford, became paralyzed from the neck down in early June due to transverse myelitis. Includes Shannon Joanisse’s quote (“within two hours of waking… completely paralyzed”) and highlights Brook’s positivity and goal to become a teacher. Diane Dezura (former coach) explains the need for plasma donors (Brook underwent 14 plasma exchanges requiring 175 donors). Notes a GoFundMe raised tens of thousands, to fund her transport to BC, rehab, equipment, etc., with hopes she will walk – and curl – again.
