Alix Popham, co-founder of Head for Change, continues his fundraising efforts by running the Newport Half-Marathon with a group of supporters on Friday, 2nd March 2025.

The group includes athletes, ex-athletes and non athletes and mostly non-runners which makes it a huge challenge for them.

What makes the fundraising efforts more remarkable is that one of the non-runners is Alix’s very own 20 year old daughter, who is determined to complete the run despite having had major spinal surgery.

Whilst raising much needed funds for Head for Change’s education and care and support programmes which the charity is working really hard on, the objective of the group taking to the road to run is to raise awareness of sports-related dementia and neurodegenerative disease.

Any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated and we are grateful for you choosing to #BePartOfTheSolution

🙏❤️🚴‍♂️🏉🧠👊🏻
