My Story…
Patrick Grange passed away of head trauma induced ALS in 2012, at the age of 29. He was found to have Stage 2 CTE the following year.
Pat was the very first SOCCER player diagnosed with CTE which continues to make media news and spreads awareness.
Our CLF race team are The Granges:
Mike, Michele, Casey, Melissa, Addison, Michael Ryan, Ali and -- in strollers -- Jack and JoJo.
