ABOUT US:
While trying to acquire municipal assistance for himself, Kevin found that there was minimal help available for the advanced level rehab needed for TBI survivors. As a result, he established RESTART Your Life / RENEW Your Mind in 2015 to provide assistance for survivors in with how to find the necessary resources, education, and advocacy. Funds are raised through corporate and private donations as well as various events throughout the year.
