Hello everyone,

It's Christmas time and we wanted to take this opportunity to let you all know that Keegan is doing great. He is back to driving, back in school at the University of Oregon, and is back to living his own life in Eugene. And he is also back to vaulting, but with a helmet now.

We are so grateful to all of you for the kindness, concern and love that you gave us via this website during that month in Utah. The CarePages made such a difference in our ability to communicate about Keegan's condition and for us to be able to hear from each of you. It was wonderful having all that support.

We are very appreciative and thankful for what we have this Christmas. And we hope that each of you is able to celebrate with your family and loved ones.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Rick, Alice, Keegan, Shaina and McKenna Burnett

Keegan jumped at Reno sporting a good looking helmet! :yes:

That puts him in with a select group of vaulters. ;)
