My Story…
My two sons and I are participating in the Race To End CTE in memory of Mike Pyle '61...my DAD!
After years of watching him suffer we lost him to Stage 4 CTE.
It was devastating to watch the outgoing, funny and larger-than-life man that had always been my hero, withdraw, isolate and ultimately forget his extraordinary athletic career.
My wish is to spare future families from the agony of watching their loved ones become shells of themselves, and ultimately "disappear" before they are physically gone.
Please help me to support this research, so that something good can come from our family's loss.

CTE is a devastating neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts in sports and military service that can only be diagnosed after death. I am raising funds to support the Concussion Legacy Foundation’s End CTE campaign, which is leading efforts to prevent, diagnose, and treat CTE while supporting patients and families fighting the disease.
