TABLELANDS couple Mario and Jodie Cocco faced every parent’s worst nightmare when they were told their young son had suffered a severe traumatic brain injury after crashing his quad bike.

Domenic was just seven years old when he got on a quad bike without a helmet and without any formal training.

After a period of time in the hospital, he thankfully began to recover and was able to return home – a rare success story.

Mr and Mrs Cocco are now Safety Advocates for Workplace Health and Safety Queensland and are sharing their story at the Rotary FNQ Field Days through a series of presentations in the Rotary Business Tent.
