Raisin Hope

When Saul awoke from his coma, he told his friends and family that if ever lived a normal life again, he would devote himself to helping others get through what he did. Thus began the Raisin Hope Foundation. This site is dedicated to helping others who, like Saul, are recovering from TBI, or like Saul's parents, are helping someone else recover. We welcome and encourage you to join this site and post your story, ask questions or share info on the forum to help others affected by TBI.

Hi all, Just a quick update on my training, preparations, and fund-raising progress for the Worlds. I have been riding and training as much as my schedule will allow, which is not as much as I had hoped for. I will be home this week after a ling...
They did do a great job of making a dorky time trial helmet look cool. Maybe I'll see if they can do something with mine. I'm not that fast, so I have to make sure I look good as I'm slowly cruising by.

Saul Raisin: Raisin Hope

On April 4, 2006, at the age of 23, I crashed in a professional bicycle race. The subsequent effects led me to endure a coma, substantial bodily damage, and a traumatic brain injury. My outlook was bleak. Medical professionals did not know if I would survive, and if I did, what kind of life I would lead. Miraculously I awoke from my coma only to enter a world full of doubt and uncertainty. Now fully recovered, I have created the Raisin Hope Foundation to help transform hope into knowledge. My goal is threefold:


  1. Raise funding to support brain injury research
  2. Connect individuals and families whose lives have been affected by a brain injury with support and information regarding medical, physical, and emotional recovery
  3. Promote public awareness and understanding of people with disability as a result of brain injury.

As a professional cyclist I was known for Raisin Hell, now as a brain injury survivor I ask you to please join me on my quest. It is my dream that, together, we can be known for Raisin Hope for individuals and families affected by brain injuries.
