I’m raising money on behalf of the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado’s ongoing mission to improve the lives of those affected by an injury to the brain. For over 35 years, this organization has dedicated itself to the brain injury community and now I’m lending my support to their cause, and I hope you’ll join me. The Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado (BIAC) is the go-to resource for help and services for survivors of an injury to the brain, their families, and providers.

Survivors of a brain injury must fight through unimaginable mental and physical challenges. There isn’t a cure for brain injuries; they don’t grow back like hair or fade like scars. While no two brain injuries are the same, they do have a few things in common. They are always present and dealing with the effects is a lifelong, day-in-day-out process. They require brain injury survivors to navigate in a brand-new world as they fight to establish a new normal.

Funding is critical for BIAC to continue supporting survivors in our state, which is why I am reaching out to family and friends to share my exciting commitment to participate in the 2021 Pikes Peak Challenge Summit Hike. The Pikes Peak Challenge will test my mental and physical boundaries as I raise money and awareness for those who have suffered an injury to the brain. When I finish, I will have hiked 13 miles and 7,400 vertical feet to the 14, 115 ft Pikes Peak Summit.

To reach my goal, I need your help. Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal of $200. (or more!) Check out my donation page to make a contribution or to learn more about BIAC.

    Hey Brad, Good luck on your trip up to the summit of Pikes Peak. Due to its length and the elevation, it’s a brutal hike. You have such a motivating reason to push your way to the top. I will be in Alamosa this weekend and regret that I can’t meet up with you before you head up. Your achievements are an inspiration to me. God bless!

    Thanks so much Tim!! I really appreciate you supporting me again. And thanks for the kind words. See you and your great dog on all your fishing adventures is an inspiration to ME to get outside. Even though I’m a horrible fisherman I’d love to get out there with you two someday. Take Care & talk to you soon.
