New international chapter: CLF Australia joins the fight to End CTE
We are excited to announce our new international chapter: The Concussion Legacy Foundation Australia. CLF Australia will be under the leadership of executive director Annitta Siliato, the sister of Paul Wheatley, a former grassroots AFL player who developed epilepsy after multiple concussions during his career and now struggles with memory impairment.
"Concussion in sports is so much bigger than you think, and the devastating impact it has on athletes and their entire families is very real." said Siliato. "There are countless families suffering right now and we want them to know CLF Australia is here to support them."
CLF Australia will better support patients and families through the CLF HelpLine, as well as promote independent concussion and CTE research.
"I'm concerned about what is being said to the Australian public about the long-term effects of head knocks, especially CTE," said Dr. Chris Nowinski, Concussion Legacy Foundation CEO and a board member of CLF Australia. "We've proven CTE is here in the Australian codes, we know it's caused by repetitive head impacts, and now it's time to act to save the lives of people we care about, from our sports heroes to our kids."
Dr. Nowinski traveled to Australia for the launch and is pictured below with members of the CLF Australia Board of Directors, including Dr. Michael Buckland who diagnosed CTE in 12 of the first 21 brains he studied at the Australia Sports Brain Bank.
