If you know me you will know that I like a good drink, so this year as it is Brendan's 10th anniversary, I thought I would give up alcohol for January and February to raise money for the Charity Headway.

Brendan was an amazing son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, cousin and friend. when he left us nearly 10 years ago, it left a hole in a lot of peoples hearts including my own. Brendan suffered a head injury as the result of being hit outside a nightclub just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This injury massively impacted Brendan and the people around him and eventually the effects of the head injury led to his death.

Brendan was an amazing friend and I miss him dearly, I would like to prevent and help people in similar circumstances through supporting headway.

Headways mission is:

To promote understanding of all aspects of brain injury and provide information, support and services to survivors, their families and carers. In addition, Headway will campaign to reduce the incidence of brain injury.

Headways objectives are:

• To increase awareness and understanding of brain injury and its consequences
• To initiate activities and campaigns which will reduce the incidence of brain injury
• To provide information and support for people with brain injuries, their relatives, carers and concerned professional people
• To promote improved approaches to brain injury screening, acute care, assessment, rehabilitation and community reintegration
• To assist people with brain injuries to return to community living, including access to appropriate accommodation, social outlets and productive activity
• To support and help to establish Headway Groups throughout the UK in furtherance of the charity's mission statement and encourage them to address the needs of all sections of the community
