Organiser's Description
This run focuses on the successes and challenges of those affected by brain injury. It celebrates their courage and their families determination to move forward after a brain injury. Every 18.5 seconds a brain injury occurs in this country. It is the number one cause of death and disability in children and young adults. Over 21,000 individuals in Kansas and the Greater KC area were affected by a brain injury last year.
