SMILEUWOKEUP is a nonprofit organization designed to provide awareness of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) to our communities while providing support, tools and tips, and TBI prevention insight.
TBI survivors, family members, caregivers, and other means of support. SMILE #UWokeUp wants to help you learn your own strength and what you are capable of while providing additional tools to enhance your personal obstacles when overcoming a traumatic brain injury. We, as humans, are the most powerful creatures on earth. Our motto is:
“See it. Believe it. Achieve it.”
As survivors, we are the voices of our TBI family.
Molly Cain is the founder of SMILE #UWokeUp. March 30, 2012, was when Molly’s world was flipped upside down and she sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Molly has overcome being in a coma with the right side of her body being temporarily paralyzed. Molly is her own verb who sets out daily to be better than who she was the day before. She is on a mission to inspire the world to greatness with one phrase: SMILE #UWokeUp.
Molly is an endurance athlete to help show others that anything is possible in some fashion. She competes in Ultra-Marathons and 70.3, 140.6 Ironman races. “Things do not come easier by any means, but my drive intensifies knowing that I have this opportunity to compete.” – Molly Cain
