A Benefit for the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater KC
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL YEAR!
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Brain Injury Association, the Thompson Family and Run Organizers - we thank all that participated in the 22nd Amy Thompson Run to Daylight. This event would not have been possible without the continued support of our sponsors, volunteers and our community.

It is because of the efforts of EVERYONE involved that the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City is able to provide information and referral for those touched by brain injury, plus provide brain injury prevention. THANK YOU ALL!

The Amy Thompson Run is in Honor of:
Amy Jeanne Thompson
Amy Thompson began Halloween night, 1986, similar to many other 23-year-olds. She was pretty, bright, funny with a contagious laugh, a loyal and inclusive friend, accomplished runner, tennis player and pianist. Amy offered so much potential and desire to improve the world, but by 10 p.m. that Halloween night, nearly everything had changed. Read More of Amy's Story
Chad Grotewiel
Chad, with the continuous support of his family, has demonstrated never-ending persistence in reaching his goals. Injured in 1997, he has progressed from being in a coma to now preparing to live independently. Every step of the way, both literally and figuratively, Chad's family has been right there with him.
