Turning unseen brain injuries into undeniable action
CTEFIGHT.com exists to raise awareness about untreated head injuries, support people living with them, and fund research and healing. This is advocacy with a pulse: music, storytelling, science, and straight talk about what gets ignored.
Read the Cognitive Overview (PDF)
This is a plain-language concept brief on cognitive continuity — why “unseen” injuries derail daily life, and how we design support that actually works.
Proceeds from our merch lines, including F*ck The What, go directly toward launching and sustaining the CTEFIGHT charity.
Evidence & Accountability
This is where we publish documents, correspondence, and official references related to workplace head injuries, reporting obligations, and the systems that decide what “counts.”
WCB: My Journey
WCB Today – Automated System, No Assigned Caseworker
This morning I received an automated reply from WCB Alberta’s Contact Centre. The message confirms receipt of my email.
There is no named caseworker attached. There is no direct contact. There is no accountable individual referenced.
I am currently an active WCB claimant. I do not have an assigned case manager. All communications go through a general mailbox. Responses are automated acknowledgements.
At the same time, I am being directed to attend a psychiatric assessment. Transportation coordination requires my residential address so a taxi can be dispatched. However, my housing allowance remains unresolved.
This is not a refusal to participate. This is documentation of process.
When an injured worker has no assigned caseworker, no direct point of contact, and only automated replies, the system becomes administrative rather than relational.

Regulations & Resources
Executive Review Requested – January 6, 2026 Decision
The attached January 6, 2026 correspondence states that I am “ready to return to work.” This determination relies in part on a specialist opinion dated December 17, 2021 — more than four years prior to the decision date.
My claim has been active for over five years. During that time, medical status, neurological stability, and rehabilitation needs have continued to evolve. The reliance on significantly dated medical information to justify a current return-to-work determination raises serious concerns regarding decision integrity, timeliness, and procedural appropriateness.
The claim number associated with this file is partially redacted for privacy (XXX 666X).
I am formally requesting executive review from WCB Alberta leadership. If clarification or correction is not provided, this matter will proceed through appropriate regulatory and public accountability channels. A response is requested no later than Friday at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Time.

WCB Alberta — Public Record & Ongoing Documentation
This section documents my ongoing efforts to engage constructively with WCB Alberta, Canada following a workplace injury that resulted in seizure activity and unresolved neurological concerns.
The materials published here were submitted in good faith over time and reflect repeated attempts to collaborate on rehabilitation, usability, and return-to-work pathways. Where proposals or correspondence did not receive substantive response, they are presented here to preserve continuity, context, and accuracy.
This is a living record. Additional documents will be added as they become relevant.
Proposal to WCB Alberta — Initial Outreach and Support Request
Submitted after direct conversations with WCB Alberta representatives who expressed interest in constructive collaboration. The document outlines practical support needs (mobility, equipment, access to care) with the stated goal of regaining independence and reducing long‑term reliance on the system.
Proposal to WCB Alberta — Usability Pilot for Workers with Brain Injury
A structured, low‑risk pilot proposal focused on real‑world usability testing of claims systems, digital portals, and procedural workflows encountered by workers living with acquired brain injuries—translating lived experience into actionable findings.
WCB Alberta Correspondence — Participation Required Notice
Letter advising that participation in re‑employment services is required and indicating potential benefit reduction or suspension. Published in full for accuracy and context.
This section will continue to evolve as additional records, proposals, and correspondence become available.
Born from experience. Built for everyone still fighting.
CTE FIGHT started with one person’s long, messy journey through repeated head injuries, misdiagnosis, and “you’re fine” shrugs from a system that didn’t want to look too closely.
Instead of staying quiet, we’re turning that story into a platform: a place where people affected by concussions, suspected CTE, and lingering head trauma can find information, community, and hope.
This site is the home base for our charity work, our partnerships, our clothing and merch lines, and the conversations we’re opening up through TheRabbitHole.ca and other media projects.
What we mean when we say “CTE”
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a brain condition associated with repeated hits to the head. It has been found in athletes, veterans, survivors of violence, and many others whose lives involved repeated impact or trauma.
Symptoms can include memory problems, impulsivity, mood swings, depression, anxiety, and changes in personality. The hardest part? It’s often invisible, doubted, or dismissed until lives are already unraveling.
We’re here to connect the dots: between symptoms and causes, between patients and practitioners, between “something’s wrong” and “this is what’s happening.”
Resources we’re building
- Vital statistics snapshot on head injuries and CTE.
- Evidence map of treatments and what’s helping people.
- Plans for retreats and healing-centre programs.
Wearable support & real-world signal capture
CTE FIGHT is built on awareness and action — but it’s also a platform for building practical tools that make life safer and more manageable for people living with brain injuries, post-concussion symptoms, and neurological instability.
One long-term goal is a wearable support device designed specifically for neurological health and day-to-day resilience — not fitness optimization. Wearables already track heart rate, pulse, sleep, and stress indicators. We want to explore how shifts in these signals may correlate with neurological events, cognitive overload, confusion, or shutdown — especially when paired with real-world context.
Capturing this kind of data can help answer hard questions without forcing the person experiencing symptoms to become their own full-time note-taker: what triggered the episode, what the body was doing at the time, how long recovery took, and what patterns emerge over weeks and months.
The goal is not surveillance or diagnosis. The goal is support, continuity, and understanding — creating a clearer picture that can be shared (with consent) with caregivers, clinicians, and support teams.
Just as important is access during the moment. The vision includes a system that allows a user to speak, ask for help, ground themselves, and reach support when cognition is compromised. A calm, voice-accessible interface — potentially supported by AI — could act like a steady co-pilot when memory, language, or executive function temporarily fail.
Independent Technology & Accessibility Pilot (PDF)
We’re documenting an independent, time-bound pilot examining how technology, documentation, and lived experience intersect for individuals living with brain trauma — with a focus on accessibility, continuity, and real-world usability.

This work is ongoing and adaptive. It’s a direction we’re building toward — grounded in lived experience, community input, and collaboration with researchers and technologists who care about real outcomes.
