The Experience Miracles™ Podcast 135. Fight Like Luke: A Father’s Mission of Hope After Tragedy with Tim Siegel
Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Tim Siegel, co-founder of Team Luke Hope for Minds, for a powerful father-to-father conversation about brain injury, hope, and turning tragedy into purpose. Tim, a former Texas Tech tennis coach, had just resigned to spend more time with his family when his 9-year-old son Luke suffered a devastating golf cart accident resulting in cardiac arrest and severe brain injury.
Despite doctors saying Luke would never move, speak, or open his eyes, Tim became his son's primary caregiver and relentless advocate. Through six years of intensive therapies and unwavering love, Luke defied medical predictions. Although Luke passed away from COVID-19 in 2021, his legacy lives on through Team Luke Hope for Minds, which now serves families in 47 states with financial support, education, and hope.
This conversation explores the intersection of parental advocacy, cutting-edge neuroscience, and how one family's journey has created a movement helping thousands of families navigate pediatric brain injuries.
