Kilimanjaro · 10 February 2011

EVERY 90 SECONDS someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (ABI). There are many possible causes, such as a fall, a road traffic accident, an assault, a tumour or a stroke. A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we're here to help

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>On 10th February 2011, we will be attempting one of the world's greatest treks - Kilimanjaro. &nbsp;At 5895m, Kilimanjaro is the tallest free standing mountain in the world.</p> <p>We are doing the trek to raise funds and awareness for Headway, the brain injury association. &nbsp;Headway helps brain injury survivors come to terms with their new circumstance, re-integrate into family and community life and maximise their opportunities and choices.</p> <p>It also provides practical and emotional support for families and carers, recognising that they too are coping with new and demanding responsibilities that can leave them feeling isolated and inadequate.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <div><br /> <p>So please give generously.</p> <p>Thanks very much. &nbsp;Craig and Karen.</p> </div>
