Hundreds of people gathered at Loose Park in Kansas City, Missouri for the annual Going the Distance for Brain Injury race in honor of 17-year-old Ralph Yarl, who was shot and suffered a traumatic brain injury in April. Yarl was joined by his mother, Cleo Nagbe, and other family, friends, and brain injury survivors, who spoke about the need to raise awareness about the causes of brain injuries, particularly gun violence. The event was a success, with many participants expressing their support for Yarl and the cause.
