● FREEFUNRUNS WILL HELP N-S-A ACQUIRE DONATION$ ◊ FROM GENEROU$ LOCAL INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES IN EACH ZIP ◊ TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY, REGARDING THE PREVENTION OF TBI AND THE PROPER USE OF "QUICKER WHISTLES". N-S-A AND "QW" WILL HELPREVENTBI BY THE MILLIONS.
● PLEASE UNDERSTAND, many young runners will want to play FB. N-S-A IS WORKING CONSTANTLY TO HELP IMPROVE PLAYER SAFETY IN ALL CONTACT SPORTS, esp FB, where the greatest number of TBI occur each year.
PLAYER SAFETY
1. "QW" could prevent 1/2 HS FB TBI each HS FB season. "QW" stop potentially dangerous actions as often and as quickly as possible. "QW" WILL HELPREVENTBI BY THE MILLIONS.
2. "EDUCATE THE PUBLIC" to HELPREVENTBI, RECOGNIZE & CARE for TBI
3. EDUCATE COACHES regarding the PROPER CONTACT TECHNIQUES, esp FB
4,000,000 TBI occur in all HS sports each school year. 1,880,000 TBI (47%) occur during each HS FB season each year. 10% during HS FB practices, 90% during HS FB games.
BY PREVENTING ONE TBI AT EVERY HS FB GAME (Varsity JV Freshman), "QW" could prevent20,000TBI every weekend in the Fall, 5,000 of which could be severe TBI. "QW" will, therefore, prevent 50,000 severe TBI every HS FB season.
Preventing 2 TBI per game, will prevent 100,000 severe TBI per HS FB season.
Preventing 3 TBI per game, will prevent 150,000 severe TBI per HS FB season.
