Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.
Tony was involved in a car crash at 18 and had to learn to walk & talk again, something he was told might not ever happen.
Through sheer determination & hard work on his part he has done a great job. However he has been feeling a bit fed up lately. So as an Empowerment Life Coach I have been working with Tony to find something that will give him a sense of acheivement and something to work towards.
He has taken on the challenge to walk from The Old Ironworks Gym to The Prom at Maldon & is training hard in The Gym and working on his walking so he can complete this task.
My walk is my own Headway Essex Longest Day Walk, as part of the Essex Fun Walk.
It has given him a purpose & he has renewed optimism about his future now. He remembered that in the past he has successfully raised money for Headway Essex and is excited once again to give back & think of others that are just beginning their journey.
We are so lucky because we now have the support from some other kind head injury people from The Old Ironworks Gym, who have kindly offered to join in with the walk & help Tony raise much needed funds for this great charity.
Living with feeling slightly different & sometimes misunderstood can be a very lonely place & I encourage everyone to act with the upmost Kindness towards anyone who may seem slightly different from you & take the time to talk & make friends, this may seem a small thing to you but it will be a massive thing to them.
We all need friends & if anyone would like to come and support us on June 12th at 12pm and join in with the walk, you are more than welcome. Tony would benefit greatly from the support & would love some new friends too.
