Why We Run:

Brain injuries are more common than we may think. In Canada alone, over 1.5 million people live with the effects of an acquired brain injury. Each year, 160,000 Canadians suffer a brain injury, and many of us know someone who is living with the long-term consequences of a concussion or more serious brain trauma. Whether from a sports injury, a car accident, a fall, or a medical condition, brain injuries can affect anyone, at any time, and their impact can be life-changing.

The Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington is dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and advocating for individuals who are navigating life after brain injury. The funds raised at Lakeside Laps will directly support BIAWW's programs, which focus on advocacy, education, empowerment, and connection for individuals living with brain injuries and their families.

How You Can Make a Difference:

• Raise Awareness: Every participant in Lakeside Laps helps bring attention to the need for better services and support for brain injury survivors.

• Support Survivors and Caregivers: The funds raised will go directly toward programs like support groups, peer mentoring, mental health initiatives, and educational outreach.

• Promote Brain Safety: BIAWW works to educate the community on the importance of brain safety, including helmet use and concussion prevention.

• Foster Empowerment: From art programs to mental health resources, we empower survivors to live their lives to the fullest, no matter the challenges they face.

We all know someone who has been affected by a brain injury, whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague. By participating in Lakeside Laps for Brain Injury Awareness, you are showing your support for those living with the consequences of brain injury and helping to ensure that they have the resources they need to thrive.

Register Now:

Sign up today to be part of this incredible event! Your participation will make a real difference in the lives of those who are living with brain injury in our community.

Together, we can create a world where brain injury survivors are empowered to live full, active, and supported lives.
