Darcy Keith - The "Queen of Survival"

Darcy Keith - The "Queen of Survival"

A truly inspiring story . Until September 12,1991, Darcy Keith's life was pretty normal. A gifted student in actuarial science at Ball State University in Muncie, IN, the attractive, intelligent and popular 22-year-old led an active, normal collegiate life.

Then tragedy struck . She was riding home with four sorority sisters from a function at Morehead State University in Morehead, Ky., when their car was hit broadside by a semi-tractor trailer. The car was crushed completely by an impact so great that the license plate of the semi-tractor was imprinted into its crumpled side panel. Two of Keith's friends in the backseat, where she was also sitting, were killed instantly. Learn how determination and hope kept her alive . Hear about how she became known as the "Miracle Child" .

She has touched many lives through her work with the Indianapolis Neurosurgical Group since 1994. And through the international program, ThinkFirst, she makes many classroom presentations about her recovery process from traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and paralysis. She has touched thousands of students by sharing how her life changed in one instant from an unexpected event.

"It is the obligation of the cured to help others, I believe. We can choose to be the victims of our circumstances,or to decide to accept, grow and learn from our hardships. I chose not to be a victim, and this has made all the difference for me. I hope that it can help others to overcome their challenges in life as well."
