Shortly, it will be 5 years since our daughter, Amanda’s car, was hit head on by a car whose driver went unconscious. Life changed in that single moment for Amanda, who suffered not only bodily injury but a severe TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
The list of what Amanda endures daily is really long and includes migraines that have been active every minute, of every day, since the accident. She bravely faces each day doing everything her medical team advices. Life has been hard with the loss of her job due to the accident.
In August, she has the opportunity to attend a Love Your Brain Retreat to help her in her journey towards better health and more strategies living with her TBI.
If you’re able to give a donation to help towards the costs for her attending the Traumatic Brain Injury Retreat… it would be much appreciated!!!!
Please pass this on to others who are able to help Amanda. Thank you,
Thankfully Amanda’s mom,
Deb Hebert Casey

What's a LoveYourBrain Retreat?
LoveYourBrain Retreats offer 5-day transformational experiences for the brain injury community. Transformation most often occurs in situations filled with great challenge or great love. At LoveYourBrain retreats, our predominant tool is love, with enough challenge built in to create the necessary desire to change. The change we speak of is a positive shift to a resilient mindset: our goal is to help people affected by TBI discover their community, their inner resources, and their capacity to thrive.
How your donation will make an impact:
Your dollars make these Retreats possible. LoveYourBrain provides these 5-day experiences at no cost to participants. From the moment participants arrive at the local airport, we create a wellness environment designed to decrease stress and increase capacity to heal. To do that, LoveYourBrain provides local transportation, all meals, accommodations, intentional workshops and activities, and a structured schedule designed to build community and foster resilience - both at the retreat and back at home. We ask participants to help us fundraise to make these retreats possible - supporting the TBI community and expanding our ability to serve more. We are so grateful for our participants' efforts - and we thank you for your support.
About LoveYourBrain:
LoveYourBrain (LYB) is a non-profit that improves the quality of life of people affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and raises awareness about the importance of brain health. LYB's programs and resources are designed to create community, foster resilience, and help people understand the importance of loving your brain. Guided by their family’s experience, brothers Kevin and Adam Pearce established LYB following Kevin’s severe TBI from a snowboarding accident prior to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Kevin’s remarkable resilience was documented and transformed into the award winning HBO Documentary, “The Crash Reel,” which brought to light the experience of TBIs.
I am lucky to get to go to a LYB retreat in August! Help me raise money to support LYB Retreats!
