My Story…

If you ask anyone who knows me, they'll tell you I am not a runner. But I will run for a good cause: that's why this year I'm running the 10k to raise money for Brain Injury Canada. Brain Injury Canada raises awareness, provides education on and advocates for brain injury survivors, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Help me achieve my fundraising goal and cross the finish line (red-faced and ready for a nap!)

Description

Living with an acquired brain injury (ABI) can impact every aspect of a person’s life: physical, cognitive, emotional, social and behavioural.  ABI is more prevalent than Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, HIV/AIDS and Breast Cancer combined, yet does not receive the attention it should. Help us prove that brain injury is not invisible!

Start fundraising today to support education, awareness and advocacy, ensuring the millions of Canadians living with the effects of acquired brain injury are supported, valued and engaged in their communities.

To show our appreciation for raising funds, runners raising $100 or more will receive a 2020 Brain Injury Canada Ottawa Race Weekend performance t-shirt.
