Updates on Ralph Yarl’s Journey


Ralph Yarl’s journey continues to inspire us all, and we’re excited to share the latest milestones in his life. Ralph has had a remarkable few months, from significant accomplishments to personal growth. He still struggles with the side effects of the TBI. However, he is determined to LIVE and return to being Ralph again. We are truly grateful for all the therapists supporting him on this journey.  Here’s what he’s been up to.


 1. High School Graduation


In May, Ralph celebrated a major life achievement: his high school graduation. This momentous occasion marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his life. We’re incredibly proud of his hard work, dedication, and the bright future ahead of him.

 2. Performing with Yo-Yo Ma in Kansas City. 


Right after graduation, Ralph had the opportunity to perform at the Kauffman Center in Kansas City alongside the legendary Yo-Yo Ma. It was a dream come true for Ralph, and his performance was spectacular. His passion for music shone brightly, leaving the audience in awe.

 3. A Journey to West Africa


In July, Ralph and his family embarked on a long-awaited trip to West Africa, visiting Ghana and Liberia. This journey was significant as Ralph connected with his roots. He got to experience the beauty of these countries' rich cultures and histories. The trip was transformative in many ways for Ralph and his family. 

 4. Starting College at Texas A&M


Last month, Ralph started his college journey at Texas A&M. As he embarks on this new adventure, we’re confident that he’ll continue to excel in his studies and inspire everyone around him with his passion and determination. 

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has been praying for Ralph and continues to keep him in your thoughts. He has made remarkable progress, but there is still a long emotional and mental journey ahead. Many aspects of Ralph's life will never be the same, but we remain hopeful that his healing will continue to progress with justice.
