"When we know better, we do better."
That's why Pro Football Hall of Famer @WarrenSapp said yes to CTE research.
Every athlete who joins a research study helps move science forward. Each participant brings researchers one step closer to better understanding CTE, improving diagnosis, and ultimately making the games we love safer for future generations.
If you're a current or former athlete, you can make a difference too. Join CTE research and help advance discoveries that could protect the next generation. Because when we know better, we do better.
