Why We Walk

An acquired brain injury can change a person's life in an instant. It can affect how someone thinks, moves, works, and connects with others. At Mind Forward, we help people rebuild confidence, develop new skills, and stay connected to their communities through rehabilitation, education, advocacy, and community programs.

Every dollar raised will go toward Mind Forward's VISTA Program (Vocational, Independence, Skills Training & Advancement). VISTA helps individuals with acquired brain injury rediscover purpose and potential through vocational activities. Many individuals express a desire to return to work, but require support to rebuild confidence, refresh their skills, and find new ways to contribute. Through VISTA, they are given that opportunity.
