FERGUSON, Mo. — St. Louis-area restaurants are coming together Tuesday to raise money for Ferguson police Officer Travis "TJ" Brown.
Brown sustained a serious brain injury when he was knocked to the ground during an Aug. 9 protest.
As for his recovery, Brown's family said he still has a long way to go, but is making remarkable progress.
In early October, Brown's family said doctors were gradually reducing sedation and Brown's pneumonia symptoms were subsiding.
On Sept. 25, his family announced on his GoFundMe page that he had successfully undergone an important procedure to help in his recovery.
A portion of the restaurants' proceeds from Tuesday night's event will support Brown's recovery.
