More than 5.3 million individuals in the U.S. are living with a permanent brain injury-related disability. The lasting effects can be so severe they can impact a person’s mood, personality, career and ability to function independently.

One of our very own members, Kaitlin Legg, experienced a freak accident during a workout in April 2023. The result was multiple skull fractures, brain and facial nerve damage, organ damage, hearing loss, vision impairment, and more. The full extent of the long-term impact related to their injuries is still not known.

Most recently, Kaitlin is experiencing mysterious chronic and new/emerging symptoms related to the injury and bills from primary care, specialists, and physical/occupational therapy are adding up.

The NOVA community is dedicating the workouts on Saturday, March 23 to Kaitlin and encourage donations of any amount to fund their ongoing medical expenses.

Donations can be made to her Go Fund Me Page HERE.
