Enter Love Your Brain, Pearce's outreach campaign to educate the public about traumatic brain injuries and help those who, like him, are living with one. It's just in the beginning stages, but the goal is to inspire and educate all people about the human brain. TBIs have been talked about a bit more this year because of the stories about NFL players who've suffered from them, but the public's actually understanding is still very slim.
"It's important to teach people how invisible TBIs are, he says. "If you saw me on the street, you wouldn't know that I had this severe, severe injury, like you would if I had two broken legs. It's important to not judge a book by its cover if someone acting differently, there could be something else going on there that we can see. We have to look more closely at the situation before judging."

"We're starting to sell those small products now, and Nike Air Max Womens we're going to grow it bigger and raise more and more money, Pearce says. "We just trying to educate people and inspire people in any way possible."

And he doesn't take that luck for granted. He still snowboards casually with his friends because it's what he loves to do, but he's learned he must respect his limits, and that he must accept that he's nowhere near the level that he used to be. And while in the past, living his life to the fullest may have been mastering tricks and an attempt at getting to the Olympics, now it's using his experiences and pain to help change the lives of others.
"This film, and how I run my life now, it feels like it really impacts people, that I can really touch people, Pearce says. wasn touching people in a meaningful and important way when I was snowboarding.
