FROM CTV NEWS WINDSOR:

Helmet giveaway gets the wheels turning on concussion awareness

Dozens of Windsor youth will be riding their bikes with an extra layer of safety after a free giveaway Saturday afternoon.

Hosted by the Brain Injury Association of Windsor & Essex (BIAWE), children received a free bike helmet and a fitting to raise awareness of concussions.

One by one, families filed through the doors at the Assisted Living Southwestern Ontario building to pick up their new gear.

“We find that most kids actually don’t have helmets or don’t have helmets that fit them properly. So, [at] this event, we make sure that the kids get the helmets and also that they’re fit properly,” said Lisa Gaspar, a social worker and client service coordinator for the BIAWE.
