Mr. Speaker, 27-year-old Troy Adams is the founder of Troy's Run Foundation, a volunteer-based organization focused upon creating a better lifestyle for brain injury survivors and their loved ones.
Eleven years ago, Troy was in a serious car accident that resulted in brain injury. Among his many therapies, he found that running cleared his mind best, which motivated him to run across Canada in 2012 establishing the Troy's Run Foundation.
It was an honour for me to meet with him when got to Ottawa.
Troy is a role model and an inspiration for brain injury survivors. He speaks at schools, services groups and charities. His focus is on hope, prevention, and education, which led to his “Helmets for All” campaign, promoting bicycle and sports helmet safety.
As June 1 is National Brain Injury Awareness Month, please join me in congratulating Troy because of the part he is doing to make life better for brain injury survivors.
