I am 13 years old, and I have been playing girl's basketball, in different leagues, for many years now. After breaking my nose more than once during games, I was thinking about the possibility of not having the sport I absolutely love, in my life. It really was a distressing time for me. Then I heard about this custom made "mask" being worn by the pros. I did some research on the internet and found the man that makes these masks; Jeremy Murray from the Michigan Hand and Sports Rehab center. My prayers were answered and I am back in the game!

The mask has become part of me; part of my uniform. During games, my face really takes a beating and with the mask on, I do not even blink. I no longer realize the pummeling my face takes because of the protection that the mask gives me.

The great part is that I did not have to fly to Michigan to have the mask made. I had my orthopedist, Dr. Douglas Avella, make a mold of my upper face and I shipped it off to Mr. Murray. That was it! Done! The mask came back a perfect fit, and I feel alive again! As corny as it sounds, having this protective face mask that fits "like a glove" has truly been a gift from above! Thanks Jeremy Murray!!
