Walk for Thought

7th Annual Walk for Thought

About the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota
More than 4,000 Minnesotans are hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury each year. Major causes of brain injury include motor vehicle collisions, falls, assaults and shaken baby syndrome, as well as acquired brain injuries due to strokes, near-drowning, heart failure, and aneurysms. Brain injuries have lasting, life-changing consequences and often require ongoing rehabilitation.

The Brain Injury Association of Minnesota is here to help people navigate life after brain injury. For those who live and work with disabilities resulting from brain injury, the Association acts as a critical resource center. Whether assisting with finding a new place to live, connecting them with medical services, or providing training to the professionals who support them, the Association provides an array of support services.

The Walk
Originally started by a handful of motivated volunteers, the Walk for Thought has grown tremendously over the last few years. In 2007 more than 1,080 people participated in the Walk for Thought.

Why Walk for Thought?
Brain injury can happen to anyone, anywhere anytime. The Association is here to provide help, hope and a voice to the 100,000 Minnesotans living with a disability due to brain injury and their loved ones. Funds raised at the Walk for Thought help ensure that Minnesotan's affected by brain injury can connect to critical support services.
