On Thanksgiving in 1992, Chris Bentley went to sleep and didn’t wake up for three weeks. An undetected cerebral arterial venous malformation (AVM) put massive pressure on his brain, leaving him in a coma. Thankfully, Chris recovered remarkably quickly.
Chris, 41, has now signed up for a new adventure… taking on a grueling 200km cycling route for SameYou’s Ibiza Bike & Hike event this month. He says: “I’m hoping that participating in the Ibiza Bike & Hike event will help me break free from looking at my brain injury simply as a challenge to overcome and instead recognize it deep inside as a unique experience that has taught me a new way of living.”
