Story

We will be running the London marathon for Headway in memory
of our dad Brian Saunders and our friend Sue Kyle, both of whom had head injuries.  

Neither of us have run a marathon before.   At 49
and 46 we know it’s going to be awful.

Please donate and ensure we cannot back out!! 

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 both 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 Team Headway in the 2022 London Marathon to help us continue improving life after brain injury.
