This is a very powerful and insightful video about what happens to a contact sport athlete who plays to win but loses it all in the end. We are seeing this too often in our families. Holly Parkes is saving lives with speaking the truth in Shane's honor.

The NHL can keep denying anything is wrong and the NFL can keep muddying scientific research, but at the end of the day the players are suffering, their families are suffering, and the money pours in. RIP dear Claude.

Lemieux won titles with the Canadiens, Devils and Avalanche during his 21-season NHL career.

SPREAD THE WORD🗣️

We have many opportunities to spread the word about protecting children’s brains and providing information about CTE & RHI.

Like and follow our social media pages for all the latest news about CTE & RHI. Sharing the information with your friends could save a life of someone you know. CTE is 100% preventable.

Whether you have five minutes, five hours, five days, five months or five years to give, you can help SAVE LIVES…and here are some ways:

Yard signs for placement just about anywhere, but across from schools, youth athletic fields and child centered places are the best spots.

Pamphlets geared for parents of young children about the benefits of Flag Football over tackle and choosing safe sports. Great in doctors’ offices, child care places, and schools. We can send you any quantity to distribute in your area.

Headbands for Health Fairs and Sports Teams emphasizing SAFE SPORTS = NO-BRAINER. If you have the opportunity to distribute these just let us know how many you need.

Join us for the 3rd Annual International Summit on Repetitive Brain Trauma — where science meets lived experience to drive real, measurable change.

🗓 Date: September 16–17, 2026

📍 Location: Tampa, Florida

This is not just a conference. It’s a working summit bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, policymakers, veteran advocates, youth sports leaders, and families to tackle the long-term consequences of repetitive brain injury.

From Repetitive Head Impacts (RHI) in youth sports to Repeated Blast Exposure (RBE) in military service, we’ll address prevention, diagnosis, treatment innovation, and systems reform.

Building on two impactful years, the 2026 Summit will once again foster high-level, evidence-informed dialogue across disciplines — turning awareness into action.

This makes so much sense. Every day we talk to players that question why they got sucked in to the act of ruining their lives and families for a money making game with no respect for life.

There's been a long-standing belief in the AFL that when it's your time to go, you go. But are the seismic risks behind that outdated idea no longer worth taking?
