Most Likely to Survive, a new book detailing Canisius College senior Matthew Faulkner’s miraculous recovery from traumatic brain injury, will be released on Saturday, March 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the University at Buffalo’s Center for the Arts. The documentary Recovery, based on the book, will be unveiled at 7 p.m. in the Screening Room. A book signing will be held at the event.
An automobile accident on March 2, 2009, while Faulkner was a senior at West Seneca West Senior High School, left him in a deep coma for almost two months with almost no chance of survival. Against all odds, he walked out of ECMC 103 days later and across the stage at his high school graduation just two weeks after that. A senior finance major, Matt will graduate this May from Canisius.
Two additional book-signing events featuring Matt, the author of the book Joe Kirchmyer, and Recovery producer Ryan Monolopolus, are scheduled for Saturday, April 6 at Enjoy The Journey Art Gallery in West Seneca from 7 to 9 p.m., and on Saturday, April 20 at Dog Ears Bookstore in Buffalo from 5 to 7 p.m.
All events are open to the public. A $5 goodwill donation is requested at the March 23 event at the University at Buffalo, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Mercy Flight. Copies of Most Likely to Survive will be available for purchase, and individuals interested in ordering a copy of “Recovery” may also do so during these events.
