Kennedy Bingham

My name is Kennedy Bingham, and I was involved in a car accident where I was ejected out of the vehicle and hanging in a power line, 30 feet in the air, upside down for almost an hour, if not an hour, fully conscious.

And my memory is like not all the way there technically.

Like I can't remember the full hour of like what exactly will happen.

But like I've spoke with like the EMTs that were there and they were like, yeah, you were communicative the entire time.

Eyes open, everything like fully there.

Okay.

So a little bit before my accident, like this is the part that I guess people can relate to a little bit more, but I was 16 years old when it happened.

And so at this point I lived in a really small town and small towns can be really hard.

Just like people love to talk.

They love to make gossip and rumors and all this stuff.

And at this point, I was like trying to figure out who I was because that's like typical as a 16-year-old girl.

You're trying to figure out who your friends are and kind of what you want.

And at this point, I did feel like pretty lost and lonely because also my dad had just been diagnosed with cancer at this point.

And so I was really struggling with that because I felt like me and my dad were always very close.

And my friends that I had also started making pretty poor choices, unfortunately.

And I was like, oh...

Maybe I should just go and who cares?

Because at this point, me and my parents also didn't get along super well.

I was very stubborn.

Yeah.
