After the surprising release of his newest album "Chapter of the Forest," singer-songwriter Trevor Hall is heading out on his “Small but Beautiful” tour. Not only will he be performing songs from his latest album, he is also teaming up with a foundation to raise money to help those that have experienced brain injuries.

The "Love Your Brain" foundation is dedicated to helping improve the lives of people who have survived brain injuries by promoting a mindful approach to brain injury prevention, rehabilitation and brain health in general. The foundation was started largely due to former professional snowboarder Kevin Pearce and his career-ending injury. 

Kevin Pearce started competing professionally as a snowboarder in 2007 and was even an Olympic hopeful leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics. On December 31, 2009, Pearce was seriously injured while training in Utah.

The injury happened when he hit his head above his left eye on his way down a pipe during his training run. He was attempting a move called the "cab double cork" when the injury occurred. He transferred out of critical care only 26 days later before being moved to a rehabilitation facility the next month. Despite overcoming this traumatic injury, Pearce announced that he would be retiring from the sport in a December 2011 interview with NBC.

His story inspired a documentary titled "The Crash Reel." The film was released in 2013 and it documented Pearce as he prepared for the Olympic games, the injury itself, as well as the rehab process afterward.

"Love Your Brain" is managed by co-founder Adam Pearce who said that their mission as a foundation is simply to help.

“[Our mission is] primarily to improve the lives for those that have been affected with brain injuries,” said Pearce. “We want to support people through their journey.”

Adam mentioned three ways that the foundation is looking to expand and improve their effect on those dealing with these tragic injuries. The foundation is starting a free access yoga program which will really allow patients to have a way to relax and have a new outlet to recover. They are also starting a camp in Vermont that will be based on the three principles of connect, educate and empower. Finally, the foundation is looking to establish a curriculum based around the film "The Crash Reel," that it can bring into schools and educate students on how to prevent brain injuries.

Trevor Hall noted that his “Small is Beautiful” tour is about going back to his roots to provide a good experience for his fans.

“Being simple is the best move,” Hall said. “I want to have a more stripped down, intimate show for the fans. I’m really excited to see people again and to play my new stuff.”

Hall teamed up with the "Love Your Brain" foundation because the foundation’s mission is one that hits close to home. Hall’s wife’s older sister died at a young age due to a brain injury. Hall ended up reaching out to the foundation in order to raise awareness for brain safety and to raise money for such an important foundation.

The tour will stop in Los Angeles on Sunday Sept. 28 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. All proceeds from “Love Your Brain” shirts sold on the tour will go directly to the foundation.
