Story

<p class="iphone-update">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am taking part in a 250ft zip wire, 150ft abseil and 150ft free fall 'powerfan jump' on March 16th 2011.</p> <p>I decided that doing this for 'fun' was not enough motivation as I realised I would be plummeting towards the ground at up to 30 miles per hour, I have therefore decided to take part in these actvities to try and raise some money for Headway Northwest London!</p> <p>Headway North West London runs two monthly support groups based in Harrow and Brent. the groups offer emotional and practical support in a friendly environment. They are open to brain injury survivors, their families and carers and interested professionals. Sometimes the support groups will have a speaker or arranges social activities.</p> <p>There is also the LINK which provides informal social rehabilitation for brain injury survivors. The LINK meets each Thursday and offers a relaxed, friendly environment where brain injury survivors can regain lost skills, and gain new skills, share experiences, rebuild confidence and start to establish a social network beyond their immediate families. Referrals to the LINK can be from a healthcare professional, social worker, family member or self-referral.</p> <p>Both these services are EXCELLENT and rely heavily on fundrasing to keep up the good work!</p> <p>Thank you for reading, and I really hope you can offer a donation, no matter how small! :)</p>
