Help Sam raise money

For participating in 2022 Cleveland Marathon

My Story…

I am running the Cleveland Marathon 5K alongside my co-captain Lisa Mchale to raise money to support the Concussion Legacy Foundation, who is leading the fight against concussions and CTE and is dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted. 

CLF has made its number one priority supporting the mental health of those struggling with the long-term symptoms of concussion and CTE. The CLF HelpLine is providing urgently needed one-on-one support, resources, peer-to-peer mentors, and medical referrals to patients and families in need during these difficult times. Project Enlist, powered by Wounded Warrior Project, is advancing research and provides resources for active duty and military Veterans with TBI, PTSD, and CTE. 

These programs are crucial in making a difference, please make a donation to my run and help provide answers to those in need!

Description

CTE is a degenerative brain disease that has devastated the lives of contact sport athletes and military Veterans. The Concussion Legacy Foundation is leading the fight to End CTE through prevention, research, and education. 

Runners are raising funds for programs like: 

  1. The CLF Global Brain Bank, a network of experts at Boston University and in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Brazil working to learn how to diagnose and treat CTE.
  2. Tackle Can Wait, which aims to prevent CTE in children.
  3. The CLF HelpLine, which provides 1-on-1 support for patients and caregivers battling suspected CTE.
