CTE & RHI Awareness Day, January 30
This is a day to reflect on those lost to CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) & RHI (repetitive head impacts), how to help those suffering with the disease, and most importantly how to stop the disease. CTE and many mental disorders are caused by repetitive head traumas and in the case of athletics for children can be 100% prevented. The StopCTE.org website is full of helpful information, treatment discussions, prevention strategies, etc. Share the website with families and friends. Also like us on Facebook and Instagram at StopCTE.
Families who have lost loved ones to CTE or RHI or those that care about awareness: contact your local Congressman and ask them to support the joint resolution from Representative Brian Fitzpatrick to declare January 30 as CTE & RHI Awareness Day.

If you suffer from possible CTE this is a great day to share your story. Most people with possible CTE are great and dynamic individuals with great stories. Don’t suffer in silence. Call your local newspaper and tell them about your history and symptoms and goals to warn others about the disease and ways you’ve learned to overcome the obstacles. See this link for a nicely done article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5236797/Former-college-football-player-believes-CTE.htmlLocal papers usually share with other papers nationally.
If you work with kids and would like to share info about CTE & RHI and give away free sport headbands, please contact us with your name and address, place they will be distributed, and the quantity needed.

And lastly, remember that CTE is an invisible disease. If you know anyone who dies from suicide or drug overdose or an irrational act, please encourage the family to do a free brain autopsy. This helps the family understand what happened and helps scientists seek ways for a cure. The brochure link is here. https://stopcte.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DonorBrochure.pdf

Your support was crucial in sending a strong message to Congress that brains are precious, that most traumatic brain injuries – and CTE – are entirely preventable, and that both adults and children deserve healthy brains. Help us save families from our pain. With your help we can make a big difference.
CTE Awareness Day, January 30, 2017
Thank you for joining us in DC on Wednesday, March 16, 2016,The message:
We had 10 families join us who lost a loved one to CTE from playing sports. We also had some famous NFL players joining us: Sean Morey and Mike Haynes (Hall of Famer). We had a booth at the Congressional Brain Injury Awareness Fair and visited offices to ask for our nation to protect children under the age of 14 from the dangers of CTE by keeping repeated head trauma out of games and practices until older.
