Anyone can walk, run, or roll at their own convenience anytime between March 23 and March 29. This flexibility makes it super easy for everyone to join in from their own neighborhoods, parks, or anywhere they choose!

Why It Matters

This initiative comes during Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spotlighting the challenges that individuals with brain injuries face and the resources available to support them. Thousands of South Carolinians are affected by brain injuries each year, making it essential to raise awareness and ensure that the community has the knowledge and resources to help them.

The Bigger Picture

Joyce Davis, the Executive Director of BIASC, highlights that brain injuries do not only impact individuals but also have a ripple effect on families, workplaces, and communities. The Walk, Run & Roll event is more than just an activity; it’s a statewide fundraising effort aimed at enhancing prevention, research, education, and advocacy surrounding brain injuries.

Your Support Counts!

The BIASC is the only organization in South Carolina that focuses solely on brain injury, providing unique resources and support for affected individuals and families. Their critical work involves participation in leading committees and task forces, such as the SC Brain Injury Leadership Council. Operating requires donations, grants, sponsorships, and fundraising efforts, so every step taken during this walk can significantly contribute to their mission.

Get Involved!

If this cause resonates with you, why not get involved? To learn more about the event or to sign up, just visit the BIASC website at biaofsc.com/wrr-2025. It’s an excellent opportunity to make a difference while enjoying time outdoors with friends, family, and new acquaintances!

Make History Together!

So, Columbia, let’s put on our walking shoes, lace up those running sneakers, or get ready to roll! It’s time to come together as a community in support of brain injury awareness. This is not just an event; it’s a meaningful chance to create an impact! Don’t miss out on this exciting week filled with fun, awareness, and community spirit!
