AURORA, Ohio — A little over a year after colliding with a steel pole during a night of sledding, 18-year-old Philip Case isn't intimidated by his next challenge: biking alone across the continental United States.It was February 2023 when Case and a friend went sledding at a ski resort in upstate New York, and Case collided with a steel pole.

Philip Case would soon be airlifted to Erie County Medical Center after breaking 23 bones, including his leg, back and skull.The trip, slated to begin in June and take more than two months, will help raise money for the LoveYourBrain Foundation, a nonprofit that helps around 8,000 people a year dealing with traumatic brain injuries and the long-term effects they carry.

"The dent is a little disappointing," he smiled."You’d think it would be bigger, but it saved my life." "I hope have a deeper appreciation for their lives, for their childrens' lives, and how easily it can all slip away," Clark Case said.
