Renewal Project was born from a promise—one rooted in love, loss, and the belief that healing is possible.

​

When Lynda Helton’s young grandson suffered a devastating brain injury, she made a quiet vow: to fight for answers, for treatments, and for hope. That vow found a lifelong ally in her childhood friend, Madeline Gardner Meryash, whose life’s work has been devoted to empowering individuals with disabilities.

​

Together, these two women—nurtured by decades of friendship and united by shared purpose—launched a mission to change what’s possible for those affected by brain injury.

​

Their work is personal. It’s passionate. And it’s making a difference.

​

Your support helps fund vital awareness efforts, educational outreach, and cutting-edge research aimed at brain repair and renewal. It also strengthens the network of families and individuals living with brain injury, reminding them that they are not alone—and that real hope is on the horizon.

​

We invite you to be part of this journey.

Your tax-deductible donation, no matter the size, fuels progress and offers something no lab can replicate: the power of human compassion.

​

Together, we can rewrite the story of brain injury—one renewed mind at a time.
