ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 AT....
the 7th Annual Kit Callahan's Miracle Mile, 10K Run/Walk
and New 2 mile Run/Walk
at George Mason University. This
past year, over 600 individuals came out to support and celebrate the success
stories of survivors of brain injuries and to help raise money for
Brain Injury Services. Our goal was to make this
event one of the premier races in Northern Virginia and to expand
our Brain Injury Awareness Fair to educate individuals of all ages.
In addition, we added a Fun Run for our younger
participants! Not only did we meet our goals we exceeded our
expectations and look forward to the 7th Annual Kit Callahan's
Miracle Mile on September 26 2010.
BRAIN INJURY
FACTS!
Every 23 seconds, one person in the United
States sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury.
An estimated 3.17 million Americans
currently live with disabilities resulting from Traumatic Brain
Injury.
More than 50,000 people die every year as
a result of Traumatic Brain Injury.
Brain Injury is the leading cause of death
and disability in children.
For those affected by a brain injury, life changes in a
second. The moment a car accident occurs, the second a
fall takes place, the instant a stroke happens--life as they
knew it is forever changed.
