An accident led Christa Moritz to have a stroke. Less than a year later, she's determined to complete the BOLDERBoulder 10K in her hometown.
DENVER – Christa Moritz’s training for the 2022 BOLDERBoulder is going a little slower than she imagined.The couple was using scooters to get to the Westword Music Showcase. Both Sam and Christa say they know scooters are not permitted on sidewalks in Denver, but both felt safer staying out of traffic. That is until they came upon a couple who was walking on the sidewalk near Speer Boulevard and Kalamath Street.
Christa says she had some scratches and had chipped a tooth from the crash, but otherwise felt OK. She and Sam stopped for water and a band-aid at the store before deciding to ditch the scooters and take a Lyft the rest of the way to the festival. Christa was rushed to the hospital. Doctors say she had an ischemic stroke after suffering facial fractures from hitting her chin on the sidewalk. The impact tore the artery which caused a blood clot which then caused the stroke. Doctor had to remove part of Christa’s skull to allow her brain to swell without causing any damage within her head.
“I was leaning on my body and I kind of fell over like a little wet noodle. And I didn't understand that my arm couldn't hold me up and my leg didn't work,” she explained. “My brain's not really communicating with my leg,” she explained. “There are certain muscles that just are just as stubborn as me. They're not working.”
