After having to end his professional career as a cyclist in 2006 after a horrible bike crash that left him with a Traumatic Brain Injury, Saul Raisin founded the Raisin Hope Foundation - a foundation that raises awareness and supports survivors of Traumatic Brain Injury. Six years after his crash and founding his foundation, Saul and his foundation are still pushing to bring awareness to Traumatic Brain Injury and bring support and help that is needed to those who suffer from it.
Saul talked to us from his home in Dalton, Georgia about the Raisin Hope Foundation, his life after the crash and his hopes for the future as well as other topics.

When I did the research for this interview I just didn’t know what to expect. What I found was a great guy with his head on right, very articulate, smart and well versed, able to talk through some tough subjects with ease. Saul has learned one of the hardest lessons life has to offer, fate is a tough mistress.
