My Story…
I am inviting you to join or support Team Brown in the Race to End CTE on May 21st. 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 helping to raise 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. My team and I are competing against the other Ivy League schools including Yale, Penn, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Cornell to see who can raise the most funds. 14 of the first 18 Ivy League football players who have had their brain examined have had CTE. Please join us in contributing to a great cause, and to help those impacted by this disease.
