Inspiring stories like Kelly's reminds us to embrace life's gifts and to make a difference in the lives of others! Read below to hear more about her journey with an astrocytoma diagnosis and how the specialized care she received at the Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute helped her:
"I have come to find that every day is a gift that I do my best to live to the fullest!" – Kelly Knolla 💚 #TuesdayTriumph: Ten years ago, Kelly Knolla was diagnosed with an astrocytoma growing into her brainstem—a life-altering diagnosis with an overwhelming risk of paralysis on her right side. By what she calls "sheer luck", she was referred to Dr. Nader Sanai at the Ivy Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, where specialized care not only saved her life but minimized deficits. Today, Kelly undergoes regular MRIs every six months and has regained full function on her right side. Her journey inspired her to give back to the brain tumor community in remarkable ways. From advocating for the National Brain Tumor Society to captaining her local Brain Tumor Walk team Kelly reminds us all to embrace life’s gifts and make a difference. 🌟

When it comes to back pain, the modern golf game is no laughing matter: it is a contact sport that can cause serious physical injury. There is currently little evidence-based research on the exact cause of golfers’ back pain, how to best treat it, and when it will be safe to return to the game. Barrow will change this paradigm through the 2025 Barrow Open - the inaugural golf tournament aimed to raise funds for the Barrow Golf Neuroscience Research Laboratory! We are grateful to PXG (PARSONS XTREME GOLF) for sponsoring this tournament with special support from the The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation!
