Story


In January 2021 I suffered a brain bleed after having a fall and suffering a blow to the head. Headway were there for me throughout. They supported me and gave me invaluable advice. 

I want to raise money to give back to Headway and raise awareness regarding head injuries and how they can impact people physically, neurologically and mentally. 

A message from Headway...

Brain injury can challenge every aspect of your life, walking, talking, thinking and feeling and the losses can be severe and permanent. It can mean losing the life you once lived and the person you once were.We all think 'it will never happen to me', but every year around 350,000 people are admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. That's one every 90 seconds.A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, Headway is here to help.Join our team of #HeadwayHeroes taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2024 to help us continue improving life after brain injury. Please take the time to read their inspiring stories and help them achieve their fundraising targets by sponsoring them!£250.00 covers the average cost of emergency travel to and from hospital over a 4-week period to visit a loved one following a brain injury. £500.00 can fund the running costs of our nurse-led helpline service for one day, whilst £2,480.00 can support the service for one whole week.
