GRANT DISTRIBUTION
The HeadsUp Foundation gave its first grant to Dr. Michael Rippee to fund his local research project: Feasibility of ketogenic diet as a treatment of post-concussion syndrome.
Dr. Rippee said, "The HeadsUp Foundation for PCS is doing very important work raising funds to help with education about concussion as well as to help fund research in post-concussion syndrome that will hopefully someday lead to better therapies for patients who suffer from PCS."
