Only Dux could be in the position he is in, and yet persevere through it without skipping a beat. His sense of humor, knowledge of his surroundings, and will to get better is Brian Dux in a nutshell. God bless kid - we love you.

Bri's parents came to stay with my family in England when they flew over. I've never met such strong and loving people in all my life. We miss Bri so much in Guildford and will continue to love and support him.
Best wishes from across the pond.

Brian is one of the nicest most genuine people I know. His talent never went to his head, and his determination and heart will get him through this.

My heart goes out to Brian and his family. He was an amazing athlete and man. I went to his last benefit and will also be attending the next. I only hope that others will also reach out as much as possible. This is what I believe Buffalo is all about. Friendships, love, and support.

I was fortunate enough to have met Brian whilst briefly working as the physiotherapist with the Heat. Brian, I know how bad your injury was and to see your progress on video is both fantastic and amazing. You are both a great athlete and an inspiration to so many whilst being a genuine "top bloke". Best wishes with your continued recovery & fundraising from all that know you in the UK.

I urge EVERYONE to support him. Attend the fundraisers, or send some cash.

He's helped lots of kids at the Boys & Girls Club, now he needs OUR help.

It was great to watch your interview, Brian, and to see how well you're doing. We have supported The Heat for just over 2 years - it was my husband and son that went to the first game and all we heard that week was "Dux this, Dux that", so the next week we all went - and so we were hooked! We miss you over here, but are heartened to hear of your progress and resolve to get well. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day.

I have watched Brian at every level of competition and no matter how much he achieved on the court, he's an even better person off the court. As you face the biggest contest yet, you have already proved to all of your friends that ou truly are a winner.

Great to see Brian doing so well on the vidio. We are both wheelchair users and season ticket holder for the Guildford Heat. without fail Brian would come and say 'Hi' and shake our hands every home game when he saw us sitting by the edge of the court. Brian is a truly great person and a great Basketball player. Make the swiftest & most complete recovery and maybe we will see Brian court side in Guildford again some day soon.

We all really miss Brian in Guildford. After every game Brian would show up in the bar and make sure he said Hi to everyone who had been to the game - he appreciated the fans and boy did they appreciate him! He was after all the MVP for the season and the best guard in the league. Being typically English and very 'reserved' it's not often I heap praise on anyone, but Brian deserves it. He's a truly great guy and it's fantastic to see he's recovering so well.

Hi Brian - it was great to see the video of how you are doing. I keep in touch with Divya and proudly wear my Brian Dux t-shirt to all BBL away games.
Take care and keep working hard.
PS Don't forget you still owe me a coffee from your last trip to Plymouth :-)
