Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I am organizing,fundraising and running for the Run, Walk, Roll for Brain Injury because it is a cause that is near and dear to me.  Many years ago, I experienced a traumatic brain injury.  In my case, I was lucky enough to live and eventually return to normal and I will forever feel blessed by that.  However, there are so many others that survive but do not have that same outcome.  

Experiencing a brain injury is an extremely scary thing to go through and it is often a very emotional and confusing journey for those recovering and for their caregivers and families.  Many people do not even know where to begin.  That is why I have gotten involved with BIAPA.  They provide survivors with extensive resources and real one-on-one help, advocate on a state and federal level for better policies regarding brain injury, and fund important research.  The thing that touched me most was finding out about the work they do with Camp Cranium. Camp Cranium provides an amazing and empowering camp experience for children at a completely handicap accessible recreational facility. The children are matched 1:1 with a counselor for a week long theme full of fun and activities. Kids get to experience climbing a rock wall, going down a zip line, swimming in the pool, participating in a dance night, roasting marshmallows by the fire while singing camp songs, fishing in the pond, and paddling in the boats.  All activities are adaptable to all abilities.

Providing young brain injury survivors with rewarding and fun activities along with others facing the same difficult challenges is instrumental in the healing process and gives the children a sense of normalcy in a very challenging, confusing and often complex life as a child living with a brain injury.

Your donation will help these kids just be kids again.  It will provide them with lifelong memories.  It will give them independence.  It will show them that they are not alone in their journey.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.  You are truly making a difference.

Brain Injury changes lives. The Run, Walk, Roll for Brain Injury supports the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania (BIAPA) and Camp Cranium, who work to prevent brain injuries and support children and adults touched by brain injury.
