Lee accepted the McLean Award on behalf of Bob and herself, and shared her family's journey through trauma and recovery. The McLean Award recognized the Woodruffs for their exceptional courage facing psychological challenges after a traumatic brain injury, for their efforts to further public understanding of brain illness, and for fighting to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
