A Way to Help Some Soldiers
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the most common injury to soldiers returning from the war. TBI is also common in sports such as football. These injuries are not always taken seriously because the injury is not always visible. The Brain Injury Association of North Carolina is having a "Walk and Roll-a-Thon and Joggin 4 Your Noggin" to raise money and awareness for people suffering from these injuries and their families.
There are a lot of symptoms associated with TBI. These families need help to support them. Some of the victims have vision problems and memory loss. Awareness is needed for people to understand these injuries to people across the state.
The "Walk And Roll-A-Thon" is sponsored by the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina (www.bianc.net) . It is $10 to participate in the event. This includes a t-shirt and lunch. The "Walk And Roll-A-Thon" will be at High Point Lake Park in Jamestown, NC. This event will be April 4th from 10am-1pm. For more information, call 1-800-377-1464 or go to www.bianc.net.
