Our man was knocked down, and is fighting hard to make his way back.

Todd Blair: SRL production director, fabricator, machine operator, good cheer ambassador and dear friend, was involved in a horrible accident September 27th, 2007 in Amsterdam, NL.

Following SRL’s show at the Robodock Festival on Amsterdam’s NDSM Wharf, a large metal structure fell on Todd and he suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Todd’s recovery time is going to be long and unpredictable but one constant in his life is his amazing, devoted wife Alexandra Ismerio.

SRL’s liability insurance provided by Robodock has seemingly been denied. Alex and Todd need financial support to survive this next chapter of Todd’s recovery. We’ve learned the hard way that basic medical insurance only goes so far. Todd and Alex depend on their spirited community’s generosity to help pull them through their current challenging chapter of life. Thus far in Todd and Alex's shared healing adventure, Todd has come SO FAR... however, as is the case with all TBI injuries, they still have quite a way to go.

From Alex's 08 April 2009 blog post: "What a joy it is to wake up every day with a guy I was told would most likely never exist. Not just once or twice, but over and over. It is one of the things that an injury of this magnitude can do to people…. to strip them/you of hope and determination. ... It makes us so appreciative of our community and life."
