My Story
I am taking on the challenge of a Half Marathon to raise funds for Headway Central Lancashire – an amazing charity that I have just started working for.
We support individuals, families and carers affected by Acquired Brain Injuries and major trauma. Support is offered to patients from their initial admission into hospital, to ongoing support for the months / years ahead after they leave hospital in community.
We support patients in hospital in so many ways, e.g. providing toiletry packs, mental and emotional support, guidance regarding benefits, and sign posting to legal guidance. This extends to supporting the patients family / friends in all these areas too, and after they leave hospital.
Donations will go towards helping provide this much needed and wonderful service plus our weekly community sessions including a monthly walking group, where we offer advice, empowerment and a place to meet for local people with acquired brain injuries.
The half marathon is on 9th November at Tatton Park.
