9/11 Widow & Stroke Survivor Beth Murphy to Begin NeuroRecovery Bootcamp at NeuroAnimation
NeuroAnimation Benefits
Beth’s hemorrhagic stroke occurred on September 9, 2021, just two days before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that took the life of her husband, Kevin James Murphy, who worked on the 100th floor of Tower One at the World Trade Center. At the time of Kevin’s death, Beth had just endured melanoma surgery and the removal of 26 lymph nodes. She was hospitalized with a rare illness affecting her nervous system only one week before the towers fell.
Doctors told Beth she would never walk again. But from her hospital bed — hooked to machines, barely able to move — she saw Kevin’s name appear on the TV during a 9/11 tribute. In that moment, she made a promise to her late husband: I will walk again. I will move my hand again. I will not give up. And she hasn’t.
Now, Beth is bringing that same unbreakable will to NeuroAnimation’s immersive, neuroscience-driven recovery program.
A New Hope in Stroke Recovery
NeuroAnimation represents a new frontier in stroke and brain injury therapy — where immersive environments and motion-capture technology are used to supercharge neuroplasticity, rebuild movement, and drive measurable brain growth. The program is housed in a flagship facility in New Albany, Ohio and attracts clients from around the country seeking this innovative and new neurological therapy.
Inside a custom-built virtual environment, participants use only their affected arm to control a digital avatar — engaging in real-time, adaptive movement that reconnects the brain and body. It’s joyful, deeply challenging, and clinically backed.
In a randomized clinical trial currently pending publication, participants in the NeuroRecovery Bootcamp demonstrated significant growth in key regions of the brain — including areas related to executive function, processing speed and motor control. These gains extended beyond movement, with clients also experiencing improvements in memory, focus, and emotional resilience. This suggests the program is activating deeper systems of brain repair and might impact beyond stroke. In fact, there is clinical evidence providing support of this therapy for Parkinson' s as well.
Beth will be closely tracked by the NeuroAnimation team throughout her 3-week Bootcamp, with cognitive, motor, and executive function data collected to help further validate this emerging model of care.
“We’re honored to support Beth in this next chapter of her recovery,” said Dr. Omar Ahmad, CEO and inventor of NeuroAnimation. “She is the embodiment of perseverance. Her story reminds all of us that healing is not only possible — it’s a decision made every day to keep going.”
Beth’s journey through the program will be documented in collaboration with her family and care team, with the goal of inspiring other stroke survivors — and reminding them that recovery isn’t over, even years after injury.
