Harvard Chaplains Pat and Tammy McLeod are sharing the account of their son’s traumatic brain injury and resulting disability in a new book entitled, Hit Hard: One Family’s Journey of Letting Go of What Was – and Learning to Live Well with What Is.

HitHardDuring the summer, the couple released a widely-publicized book documenting their then-sixteen-year-old son’s severe injury during a football game and his subsequent, improbable recovery.

 

In the book, the McLeods describe Zach’s inspirational progress during the last decade, as well as his ongoing battles with care, communications, and mobility. The couple is involved with Cru, and Tammy McLeod is director of college ministry at Park Street Church.
