Help Kellie raise money

My Story…

CTE, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a degenerative and progressive brain disease. Currently there is no cure. It occurs from repetitive head impacts and concussions from sports injuries, domestic violence, car accidents etc. It can take years to show up and cannot be diagnosed until after death with an autopsy. It changes personalities, is associated with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Research will help to find ways of diagnosing this in earlier stages, management of this disease and possibly someday, a cure. Until then we need to fundraise to raise awareness and for research into traumatic brain injuries and how it impacts individuals, families and life itself. Please help me in my fundraising quest to help us find the answers we so desparately need. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

  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.
