Did You Know?
· ABI is the number one killer and cause of disability in Canadians under the age of 44
· Each year, 50,000 Canadians sustain brain injuries; 11,000 of these will die, and over 6,000 will be permanently disabled
· Head injuries account for 80% of child cycling deaths
· It is estimated that the direct and indirect costs associated with ABI are $3 billion annually in Canada ($1 billion in Ontario ).
Injury to the brain may result from traumatic or non-traumatic events. Traumatic brain injuries are caused by motor vehicle and bicycle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports-related injuries. Non-traumatic ABI may be the result of illness (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis) and anoxic events like stroke, aneurysm, cardiac arrest, and near-drowning. Injury to the brain may also result from tumours, hydrocephalus and substance abuse.
Please register early to avoid disappointment, your foursome cannot be confirmed before you have all paid.
