Got plans this fall?

July 2019

Where's that fall weather when you need it?! Luckily, we're already planning for a full schedule with back to back events starting in September. It's never to early to plan ahead! But first, a special spotlight on a brain injury advocate...

Detective turned brain injury advocate

Decker, Ph.D., RN, RRT, D.ABSM – Associate Professor, Case Western Reserve University, Matt Breiding, Ph.D. – Team Lead, Division of Unintentional Injury and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Shirley Richardson – Caregiver of adult son with ABI, Steve Wade – Executive Director, Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire

On June 19, Shirley Perry-Richardson attended the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Briefing in Washington, D.C. as part of the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force to advocate on behalf of her son, Timothy, and the rest of the community living with an ABI.

Shirley is a retired Homicide Detective here in Richmond where she served for 30 years. Now, her focus is on her 52-year old son, Timothy, as they navigate the impact of ABI on their family. Part of their journey has included Camp Bruce McCoy, where Timothy thrives and Shirley enjoys some much needed respite.

Shirley is an integral part of Virginia’s brain injury community and demonstrates how passion for advocacy can truly make a difference.
