Receive a goodie bag, refreshments and entry to win a door prize from Montgomery Cyclery!
My name is Olivia Horrigan and I am a senior at Loveland High School. I recently became interested in concussion and traumatic brain injury during a medical conference I attended in Boston, Massachusetts. I was looking for a way to raise awareness in my community and thought a fundraiser would both help to educate the public and help local children who have been affected by traumatic brain injury. This is how Bike 4 Brains came about.
According to the Brian Injury Association of America, every year approximately 626,000 children are seen in hospital emergency departments for traumatic brain injury. Roughly 10% of these injuries are serious enough to require hospitalization. The donations received will be going to the Sports Medicine division at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The funds will be used in part to help study the influence of traumatic brain injury on academic performance in Cincinnati Public Schools.
Please visit my Facebook Page for more information and to print the pledge form.
