<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I have always wanted to run the London Marathon, and my decision to do this was compounded by the death of my mother just over a year and a half ago. It's still hard to believe that such a special woman who was so kind and giving to everyone is no longer here. She was just 62 years old, and following a fall she suffered a traumatic brain injury and fell into a coma from which she never recovered.</p> <p>Spending that time with her and other families who were going through the same experience, is a time I will never forget. It opened my eyes to how fragile life is from a single blow to the head and how drastically it can effect each and everyone of us. Please help me to raise money for others who may have a better chance of survial and rehabilitation with the money raised for Headway. They are a tremendous charity and it would be wonderful to see other people benefitting from this, although sadly my mother never had that chance.</p> <p>Any donation would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>With much thanks and appreciation of your support.</p> <p>Karen x</p>
