My Story…
I am incredibly passionate about supporting CTE research as an athletic trainer, an educator, and as someone who lives with Post-Concussion Syndrome. I believe the research done by the Concussion Legacy Foundation has and will continue to save lives. That is why, in addition to walking my 10k, I’ve shared my story on their website and pledged my brain to CLF for research.
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:
- 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.
- Tackle Can Wait, which aims to prevent CTE in children.
- The CLF HelpLine, which provides 1-on-1 support for patients and caregivers battling suspected CTE.
