Matt Picard joins us again to share more about his passion for brain health. He has come through a long process of recovery from 10 diagnosed concussions and post-concussive syndrome. His experience became even more personal when his grandfather was diagnosed with and ultimately passed away from glioblastoma brain cancer. Around the same time, Matt also lost a close friend to ALS, further driving his passion for supporting brain health.
Frustrated by the limited knowledge surrounding brain conditions and the lack of effective treatments, Matt launched the Picard Research Fund and established the Heads Together Gala, an annual fundraiser in New York City that supports research into brain health and neurological diseases.
