OK this was the morning. 

It was cold.

Shoulder of snow. 

We did have some paparazzi

Can't go anywhere in the Rockies without being watched. 

Just look at that. 

I plugged away for 34 some odd kilometers and had to stop as we had to meet The Golden Rams minor hockey team, and the Golden Rockets Junior hockey team. 

A huge thanks to these awesome sportsman and sportswomen.

I asked the kids to put up there hands if they had ever had a concussion. Once again shocked at how many children and young adults have had not only one but several concussions. 

A special thanks to there coaches and supervisors for not only understanding the importance of prevention of brain injury but for taking the initiative to bring the teams out to the run. Golden has some great adults who really care about there kids. That was awesome. 

Photo Op!!

They had made the signs as well. I was very moved. Then I had them move ;') 

A little run through Golden 

We ran to the Skating rink where we met with the Deputy Mayor and had a run to remember day proclaimed. 

I want to give a very special thank you to the East Kootenay Brain Injury Association and to Debbie who works for them. 

That is so cool!! 

My fellow Brain injured brothers and sisters

Thanks Debbie

I was able to relax a little bit and talk one on one with other people that have survived a brain injury, and there family members. The one consistent in all of them is the lack of services. The drive to move from being someone with a brain injury to being a someone again. 

The other consistent is the incredible gratitude for all those that work around brain injury. It's a demanding, complex, frustratingly slow and underfunded place to be. So hard to deal with the enormity of it and no one seems to notice. It is truly the "hidden disability"

So my hat's off to all those who continue the fight and to all the kids that will put on there helmets. We can change things. One step at a time.
