John's Sea of green 5k Join us as we raise money to bring support and resources to families affected by traumatic brain injuries. Follow us to learn how your support can help.

In the blink of an eye, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can change a family’s life forever. TBI is a major cause of death and disability in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year 50,000 deaths are attributed to TBI with another 280,000 hospitalizations. This is in addition to the 2.2 million people who are treated and released each year. For those who survive, TB

I has lasting effects including impaired thinking, memory issues, vision or hearing issues, personality changes and depression. Not only are the individuals affected, but there are also lasting effects on families and communities. John’s Sea of Green – a Memorial 5k has been created to raise funds to advance life-saving research through the UMass Neurocritical Care Research team lead by Dr. Susanne Muehlschlegel and to help those who have suffered from a traumatic brain injury and their families. John’s Sea of Green – a Memorial 5k will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2019 at 8:30am. Walk or run, whatever you choose; it’s your support that matters. Our inspiration for this event is John Deane – a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, colleague and friend – who was involved in a tragic accident in December 2016. John passed away from his extensive injuries 10 days following his accident, leaving many of us to wonder what we could do to help other families whose loved ones survived yet their lives changed forever.
