How It All Began
Kids with epilepsy have a lot of risk just being "normal" active kids. Without a helmet to protect their heads, day to day activities such as playing on the playground, playing basketball, going on a walk, all create a huge concern and constant stress for the families. With medical bills, household bills and, a lot of the time, a parent's inability to work to be close to their child, makes something like a helmet (which can range from $150 to thousands of dollars) impossible to afford. That's where we come in.
We want to help kids be kids, let them run and play, help the families to have some piece of mind that their child will be as safe as can be while having epilepsy.
How It All Began
How It All Began
How It All Began
Brock and Bryson Thompson, brothers, began Helmets4Helmets at the ages of 8 and 6, as a way to give back to a foundation that had helped Bryson so much, Jack's Helping Hand. They decided they wanted to start their own foundation to help kids around the world who have epilepsy, like Bryson does. Bryson started having seizures at the age of 4 and his epilepsy is still uncontrolled today. After having hundreds of seizures in less that a 24 hour time period, Bryson's doctor told him he needed to wear a helmet to protect his head. His insurance, shockingly, would not pay for it. This floored the family and the boys decided no one else should have to deal with this. So they asked their friend, and former Saint, Zach Strief, if he could get them a Drew Brees helmet that they could auction off to raise money to help other kids buy helmets. He of course said "yes" and Helmets4Helmets began!
