OVERVIEW:
It's here! Brain Changes Initiative (BCI) is proud to announce the launch of our annual Move for Neurogenesis — A Global Movement to Raise Funds for Traumatic Brain Injury.
BCI raises funds to educate, innovate and transform neuro-rehabilitation. In 2020, Brain Changes launched a grassroots movement, move for neurogenesis — a community workout to highlight the ability exercise has to change the brain. Now a global movement, BCI is excited to expand its message through 2024 to bring you both virtual & in-person registration options.
INSPIRATION:
After suffering a severe traumatic brain injury in 2013, Brain Changes Founder Dr. Matthew Galati began using aerobic exercise as a key pillar for healing. After making a full recovery and completing medical school, The annual Move for Neurogenesis was born to spread awareness of the positive impact of movement for the brain.
IMPACT:
All funds from MFN 2024 will support ground-breaking clinical research centred around BCI’s 6 Pillars of Brain Health to improve access to treatment and the standard of care for traumatic brain injury.

The E-Guide will be offered as a complimentary addition to any registration package. It will be sent via email once registration is complete.
