Burlyjacks, IamYouAre, Brother’s Through Glass and more will all be performing in the one rock-filled evening.During Courtney’s heart attack, her heart stopped beating for several minutes, causing her brain to be severely damaged from the lack of oxygen, and she subsequently fell into a coma. After spending three weeks in the intensive care unit at Fletcher Allen Health Care, doctors were unsure if she could ever recover from her near vegetative state.Since that time, Courtney has made great progress with many thanks due to her family, friends, UVM professors and a dedicated medical staff.While at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in New Hampshire, Courtney has regained her ability to talk, eat basic foods and walk.To get daily updates about Courtney, or make a donation online, check out http://www.supportforcourtney.com.As health insurance will only cover a portion of the treatments she will need over the next few years, the work of Support for Courtney is imperative to her continued progress.
