Our Brain Injury Awareness Brain-a-thon reached its targeted goal! If you were among the participants, you have not only helped your own brain, but also contributed to our donation of BrainHQ subscriptions to Canadian soldiers with brain injuries - thank you!

As promised, we will donate 80 annual subscriptions to our veterans through the Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC), Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley (BIAOV), Victoria Brain Injury Society (VBIS) and a few other organizations.

Happy training! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us.
