About Us

Our Story

The founders of Headway have each lived and fought through concussion battles. We are familiar with the tireless internet searches, the endless doctors’ appointments, the unanswered questions and the uncertainties related to lingering post-concussion symptoms. It took years to find proper treatment, and our journeys have reflected the gaps in concussion management. Too many people don't know where to turn.

Our Story

The founders of Headway have each lived and fought through concussion battles. We are familiar with the tireless internet searches, the endless doctors’ appointments, the unanswered questions and the uncertainties related to lingering post-concussion symptoms. It took years to find proper treatment, and our journeys have reflected the gaps in concussion management. Too many people don't know where to turn.

While we never thought this would be our path, the Headway Foundation began through our shared journeys and struggles. It is our mission to ensure concussions are handled properly, beginning with prevention and symptom reporting, and continuing with treatment, support and recovery.
