Lee Woodruff
Author of In an Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love and Healing

Lee Woodruff will speak about her family’s difficult journey during her husband's critical brain injury. Bob Woodruff was seriously injured by an IED in Iraq while anchoring a broadcast for ABC World News Tonight. This experience led Lee and Bob to establish the Bob Woodruff Family Fund for Traumatic Brain Injury to assist members of the military with cognitive rehabilitation and other care needs following traumatic brain injury suffered in service to their country.
