SUMMARY:Hats for Headway
DESCRIPTION:Hats For Headway will be observed on May 20 this year. Every year\, at the end of Action For Brain Injury Week\, participants\, volunteers\, and the civil society come together and don their silliest hats to promote research on how to improve life after brain injury. The wacky hats not only help put the issue of brain injuries in the spotlight but also enable raising funds for those living with the condition’s long-term effects to lead better lives. Brain injury can alter every aspect of our lives. The losses are severe and can be permanent. Simple tasks such as talking\, walking\, and even feeling\, are affected. \n\n\n\nHATS FOR HEADWAY ACTIVITIES\n\n\n\n1.     Wear a crazy hat\n\n\n\nWear the craziest hat that you own with pride on this day. Share your selfie wearing the hat on your social media using #HatsForHeadway. \n\n\n\n2.     Donate to Headway\n\n\n\nDonate generously to Headway to help them raise funds for research on brain injury and assisting those living with it. Also encourage others you know personally to monetarily contribute to the cause. \n\n\n\n3.     Spread awareness about brain injuries\n\n\n\nThis day offers a wonderful opportunity to share information about brain injuries. Post articles and resources online that could help loved ones of those suffering. \n\n\n\n5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BRAIN INJURY\n\n\n\n1.     It’s not as uncommon\n\n\n\nEvery year\, at least 350\,000 people are hospitalized due to brain injuries. \n\n\n\n2.     Minor head injuries can be dangerous\n\n\n\nEven minor injuries to the head can adversely impact brain function\, leading to dizziness\, headaches\, and concussions. \n\n\n\n3.     Injury severity is directly proportional to effects\n\n\n\nThe more severe the brain injury\, the worse its long-term effects are going to be. \n\n\n\n4.     Brain injuries can alter one’s personality\n\n\n\nSurvivors of brain injury face problems that affect their overall well-being\, relationships\, and even their traits. \n\n\n\n5.     Things can be hard for survivors’ families\n\n\n\nEven with support and help\, the families of brain injury survivors face difficulties and uncertain challenges.
