One of our supporters, Miss Cressey, recently took on the incredible challenge of ‘The Serpentine Swim’, completing a one-mile swim in the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park alongside her daughter, raising an amazing £2,210 for Headway Central Lancashire.
The cause is particularly close to Miss Cressey’s heart, as Headway provided invaluable support to her family following her father’s brain injury after a fall.
To raise awareness about brain injury prevention, representatives from Headway Central Lancashire visited Kirkham Grammar School where she teaches, and delivered an assembly to pupils. They highlighted the importance of protecting our brains, wearing helmets when cycling, using appropriate protective equipment during sport and being mindful of everyday distractions, such as walking while looking at our mobile phones.
A huge thank you to both Miss Cressey and her daughter for their fantastic fundraising achievements.
