Receive a goodie bag, refreshments and entry to win a door prize from Montgomery Cyclery!

My name is Olivia Horrigan and I am a senior at Loveland High School. I recently became interested in concussion and traumatic brain injury during a medical conference I attended in Boston, Massachusetts. I was looking for a way to raise awareness in my community and thought a fundraiser would both help to educate the public and help local children who have been affected by traumatic brain injury. This is how Bike 4 Brains came about.

bikes-brainsAccording to the Brian Injury Association of America, every year approximately 626,000 children are seen in hospital emergency departments for traumatic brain injury. Roughly 10% of these injuries are serious enough to require hospitalization. The donations received will be going to the Sports Medicine division at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The funds will be used in part to help study the influence of traumatic brain injury on academic performance in Cincinnati Public Schools.

Please visit my Facebook Page for more information and to print the pledge form.

Registration will be open from 9 am – 10:30 am in the parking lot behind Montgomery Cyclery (116 Karl Brown Way, Loveland, OH 45140). There will be a $40 entrance fee for participants ages 13 and up and $10 for children 12 and under.

Entry fees will be collected at the start of the event (cash or check only, with checks made payable to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital). The entrance fee will be waived for any participant who collects more than $100 in pledges. Entrance fee includes a goodie bag, refreshments, and entry into a drawing for a door prize provided by Montgomery Cyclery! There will be signs and chaperones for all routes.
