44. Linda Leary Taylor, sister of BMX great Harry Leary, wants to bring about awareness of CTE with Harry as the catalyst. She believes that because of his name, his history, his stories, and more that because of Harry - we were able to find out more. Maybe we can save children or other riders. 

Linda is looking for support, direction, and guidance on this - do you have a smart head that you can share?

We invite you to listen to our recent conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary with one of his sisters, Linda Leary Taylor, while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
