While working a family ranch in Brown’s Park, Colorado, Leigh fell down a ravine and the resulting catastrophic brain and spine injuries left Leigh a different woman. Once an athlete and college student who loved NASCAR and riding ATVs, she’s now an avid artist, poet and mathematician.
Erceg has synesthesia – a neurological phenomenon in which patients experience sensory information in atypical ways, such as “hearing” colors and “seeing” sounds. She has been diagnosed as the only currently known female acquired savant.
