Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well.

As a lot of you know, I will be running the Ultra X 110km race in the Azores. This is a big step up from the 50km races that I am starting to get used to! Because of this step up in distance I decided to fundraise for a cause. Me and my pappy Mike, who I will also be running in memory of,  decided to choose the brightwell centre as they rely mainly on donations and they take such great care of my auntie Nic, who has MS. They really do some amazing things for our community and this is a great oppurtunity to give back!

There are an estimated 4.7 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition, in our region alone, in 2018, it was thought that just over 10,000 people were living with a long term chronic neurological condition.

A diagnosis of a neurological condition is often a traumatic moment, and The Brightwell offers a safe space to terms with the news and work out a way to move forward. The therapies we offer are designed to address the many different symptoms of a neurological condition and our aim is to help people live a full, meaningful and independent life.

Our core treatments are Neuro Physiotherapy & Oxygen Therapy. Neuro Physio is only provided by the NHS for 6 weeks post diagnosis but at The Brightwell we offer this care life-long at a subsidised rate for members. Our Oxygen Therapy is not available outside of MS Therapy Centres, apart from a handful of very expensive private clinics, therefore we are unique in this provision in our area.
