🥧 Pi(e) Day at the Kansas Statehouse

Every year, as close as we can get to March 14 (Pi Day), the brain injury community gathers in Topeka for one of our favorite advocacy traditions—Pie Day at the Capitol. It’s a simple but powerful message: Kansans with brain injuries deserve a piece of the pie. By serving slices of pie to legislators, we open the door to meaningful conversations about the importance of the Medicaid Brain Injury Waiver and the need to ensure there is no waiting list for the services that help people live, work, and thrive in their own homes and communities.

This year’s event was filled with energy, connection, and purpose. Advocates, providers, survivors, and families met with many legislators to share real stories about recovery, independence, and why community-based rehabilitation matters. These conversations help legislators understand that the waiver isn’t just a program—it’s a lifeline that allows people with brain injuries to rebuild their lives and participate fully in their communities.

We were also honored to recognize several Brain Injury Champions—legislators and leaders who have stood with the brain injury community and supported policies that strengthen access to services. Taking a moment to celebrate those who advocate alongside us is an important reminder that progress happens through partnership.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their stories, and helped make the day impactful. Advocacy truly works best when people come together around a common purpose—and sometimes, a slice of pie helps start the conversation. 🥧

Congrats to Laura on ALL she has achieved since her stroke. What a journey it’s been. She went from being more reserved and unsure, even a little wary of our help in the beginning, to playing pranks on her therapists and becoming the life of the party. It’s been so fun to watch her personality, sense of humor, and confidence return over time.

We are so proud of you Laura! Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey.

Oh and happy . This is what it’s all about. 💜
