HEISMAN TROPHY TRUST’s Post

The Race to #EndCTE is in full swing with a month to go! More than 65 college alumni & memorial teams have raised more than $150,000 of our $500,000 goal, with the top 5 currently #Harvard, #NotreDame, #Army, #TeamSullivantoBeasley (#Auburn), and #USC. Our participants are making sure we: 1. Honor those we've lost to CTE by saying their name every year. 2. Support families concerned about CTE by connecting them to the free Concussion Legacy Foundation HelpLine (accessed at CLFHelpLine.org). 3. Raising funds so we can learn how to prevent, diagnose & cure CTE. Help #EndCTE by starting or joining a team at the link below. https://lnkd.in/egrAA77a

Powerful images and more importantly the emotive copy that tells their story.

Great panel focusing on purpose and impact of having wealth which after all is a key question given that you can’t take it with you.

Such a powerful campaign.

What on earth have I done now?! It's week 2 of Doddie Aid, bringing friends, family and strangers together to unite, raising funds and awareness in the battle against MND, supporting the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. In the last 7 days, I've been more active than in the past 4 months. Although I can't run at all or walk any great distance, I've clocked up 25 miles on my exercise bike. I have to be mindful not to go too far too soon because of my own MND or my legs will be like linguini for the rest of the day! If you've not signed up already, there are still 4 weeks to go and it's so simple. It takes all of 3 minutes of your time. A £20 donation gets you in, goes towards finding better treatments and you can get a cracking team snood too. I'd love to say I twisted your arm to get involved, because IF I CAN, YOU CAN. www.doddieaid.com is where to go to download the app. Fellow Argyller Bob MacIntyre is a Foundation ambassador and has become one of my golfing heroes. A never-say-die attitude - All out attack - Relentless. That's what we need to be against MND. Just ask anyone that lives with the condition or the family and friends affected by it. Sadly, MND is not a good news story, with the average life expectancy after diagnosis just 2-3 years. This is why we are doing this and why I'm breaking up your 'Scrolliosis' to raise awareness. And why am I in my My Name'5 Doddie Foundation / OddBalls Apparel LTD PJs on a serious networking site like LinkedIn? Well this photo at The Ryder Cup helped Bob have an undefeated week, so maybe some of that PJ magic might help me and Team Glasgow - Doddie Aid catch up to the rest of the field! 💪💙💛💙💪

Studies show that a future high school, college or NFL player who starts tackle football at age five may have 10 times the odds of developing CTE than if he had started at 14. But this isn't just about football. Girls soccer experiences more concussions per capita than any other sport. Let's face it, all youth sports come with an inherent risk of head trauma. We don't want to stop youth sports, we want to make them safer. We want to #EndCTE because my grandchildren deserve to get the same benefits from participation in sports that I received, but with a lot less risk. With YOUR support @Concussionfoundation can grow its educational programs like Stop Hitting Kids in the Head. Our goal is to convince every sport, especially football, soccer, and rugby, to eliminate repetitive head impacts under age 14. Please consider supporting me in efforts to help #EndCTE for our future generations. Go to https://lnkd.in/eVRzhuUV to donate!

On the 27th of April I will be joining my team for the 2nd year, undertaking a 24 hour “Hero” Crossfit-style workout in order to raise funds and awareness for Veterans and First Responders living with Operational Stress Injuries. Each of the 24 workouts has been dedicated to reflect on the sacrifices of the fallen and to honour the memories of those men and women. Starting on the Saturday morning at 8am each team member will perform a different hero workout every hour on the hour until 8am Sunday morning. To support those who dedicate their lives and stand on the front line for us, I would welcome any donations which are tax deductable to; https://lnkd.in/gVrWTiNu Why we are doing it: 24 hours of Heroes Australia is supporting Wounded Heroes Australia “Wounded Heroes Association is a national community organisation doing whatever it takes to provide support to Australian servicemen and women and their families, to ease the financial, emotional and personal hardships of contemporary military life.” www.woundedheroes.org.au 24 hours of Hero workouts dedicated to Veterans and First Responders living with mental health issues, those that have lost their lives as a result of a mental health related illness or those that have passed in the line of duty As with Wounded Heroes, Homeless Heroes are 'first-responders' and supports not only homeless veterans but also partners of veterans, where other community services are not immediately available. From 2001 to 2017, there were 419 suicides in serving, reserve and ex-serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel who have served since 2001. Compared with Australian men, the age-adjusted rate of suicide over this period was 48% lower for men serving and in the reserves, and 18% higher for ex-serving men. Over the same period, the age-adjusted rate of suicide among ex-serving women was higher than that of Australian women.
