BIAMD Celebrates the life
|
Chris was assaulted in August 1, 2010 and sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. Throughout all of the trauma, illnesses, and setbacks, he kept his sunny disposition and sense of humor – making friends with those who took care of him in and out of the hospitals and nursing homes. Everyone who took care of Chris loved him for his intelligence, sense of humor and respect for others. They all learned his special fist bump – from doctors to nurses to therapists, aides and housemates. His battle was long and hard fought to the end – he recovered time after time.
Chris was a standout runner for Mt. St. Joseph HS and made the All-Metro Cross Country Team – which was featured in the Baltimore Sun – and he didn’t start his running career until he was a Junior in high school.. He continued running on teams at UMBC and Towson University.His friends are many from all parts of his life – childhood, high school, college, work. Many kept in touch with us during his long struggle – he was known to many as Big Bird, Birdman, or simply Burd and his family's Scarecrow Team was always The Burd Brains.
On February 14, he was unresponsive and was taken to the St. Agnes Hospital Intensive Care Unit. He never regained consciousness and died on February 26, 2018.
We invite you to join this year's celebration of Chris and The Burd Brains for a fun and exciting day of racing as a participant, volunteer, or sponsor. With your participation, the Scarecrow Classic will continue to support the brain injury community, foster awareness about this devastating injury, and provide funding for our Maryland Brain Injury Connection Center furnishing information and advice free of charge.
