Concussion Legacy Foundation<\/a> is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the study, treatment and prevention of concussions and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), <\/strong>a progressive degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive concussive and sub-concussive brain injuries. The organization was conceived after SLI members and their colleagues identified the first four cases of CTE in retired professional football players. At the time of their deaths, all four athletes, all of whom died by the age of 50, had remarkable early cell death and excessive amounts of the toxic protein tau<\/em> throughout their brains, indicative of CTE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
