Wow! What an amazing event! I thought I knew everything there was to know about traumatic brain injuries but I learned so much more and made so many new friends! It was a very powerful and moving weekend. The kids and their families all really bonded together for a very important cause. It was a very good weekend for us all and we are just beginning!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say to Dirk, thank you, for putting on such an informative discussion and presentation. I was deeply moved by the event and the very special guests at your dinner. I had the opportunity to talk with Zack's father and watch the interaction of his best friend and family with Zack and it was moving. I know as a coach I will now use the standards shown to me and try and push every district I work with to do the same. It is preventative and we need to make the measures and procedures part of our programs. Thanks again! Scott Laigo HS Coach for 22 years Director of Academic Sport Development in Seattle
