This past summer, one of my friends experienced a traumatic loss. The loss of her brother. Please take a moment to read this, it would mean a lot to her family and a lot of other people if you could participate.
Derek Thomson Sheely was a strong, extremely healthy, and smart 22-year-old honor student who played fullback and linebacker in pee wee, high school, and college football for nine years. Derek was a two-time academic all-conference selection in college and never had a documented concussion. On August 22, 2011, during football practice for his senior season at Frostburg State University, Derek suffered a traumatic brain injury and died one week later on August 28. To honor Derek and to prevent traumatic brain injuries from happening to other children and families, this Foundation was created to increase awareness and research of concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.
Please, take a moment of your time to go and ‘like’ THE DEREK SHEELY FOUNDATION on facebook, and take a moment to reblog this.
