He was traveling in a mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) convoy vehicle when it ran over an improvised explosive device (IED). Adam was left severely wounded\, suffering a traumatic brain injury and broken bones. Due to an infection in his bloodstream\, he ultimately lost both legs and his left arm. Four other soldiers were killed in the explosion\, including Adam’s best friend. In the time since his injury\, Adam has endured over 100 surgeries and continues rehabilitation on his journey to recovery. \n \nJulie Keys was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, Canada.  In 1998 her family relocated to Whitehall\, PA for her husband’s job. Julie has been married to husband\, Stephen for 34 years. They have two children\, Adam and Courtney.  Courtney lives in California with her husband\, Ben and their son\, Nolan. \nJulie’s son\, Adam\, was wounded in Afghanistan on July 14\, 2010.  He was in a vehicle that was hit by an IED and he was the only survivor of the five men in the vehicle.  At 7:00 am on July 15th\, Adam’s family received the call that he had been critically injured.  It was six days before Adam arrived stateside and his family was able to go to Walter Reed Hospital and see him. \nJulie Keys has been Adam’s primary caregiver since that time.  Adam was critically injured and had a very long and difficult road to recovery.  He was inpatient initially for 475 days and the total time before he was able to medically retire was 5 years and 13 days.  He retired July 27\, 2015 and has relocated to Maryland.  Julie and Stephen Keys are currently living with their son until he is independent enough to be on his own. \n \n  \nProudly Sponsored by \n \nView the Invitation Here \n$45.00 for Members and Guests \n$360 for a table of 8 \n  \nTo RSVP Contact Karen Mesch at 610-433-6204 x 12 \nkmesch@thebarristersclub.com \n  \n  \nFor a refund of payment\, all cancellations must be received 24 hours prior to the event.
