Brett Becker and his family were on a ski trip in Wisconsin, enjoying the remaining days of his college winter break. A freshman at Indiana University, Brett was studying biology, with hopes of one day becoming a doctor.
On January 4, 2016, a fun family vacation turned tragic. Brett went off a ski jump and overshot the landing area, falling sideways, landing on his head and shoulder, and breaking his clavicle. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, at one point requiring resuscitation. Brett spent one week in an intensive care unit (ICU) in Wausau, Wisconsin and was then transferred to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago where he spent another two weeks in the ICU.
