Great North Swim 2009 · 12 September 2009 ·

The brain is literally your head office and damage can have a huge impact on every aspect of your life. We are passionate about helping those affected by brain injury, offering rehabilitation to individuals & families left to cope with the devastation of brain injury following hospital discharge.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On September 12th 2009 myself and Tiffany are taking part in the Great North Swim around a 1 mile course in Lake Windermere in the Lake District.  This is a first for both of us, neither having done anything like this before. We have trained for the past 8 months to make sure that we can make the distance in open water and survive the 17 degree water temperature!

 

We are aiming to collect sponsorship on behalf of BASIC, Brain and Spinal Injury Centre, http://www.basiccharity.org.uk/, BASIC is a specialist resource for people and their families in crisis following a traumatic brain injury or neurological diagnosis.  We personally know people and their families  that have been affected by brain injuries and have benefitted greatly from the services BASIC provide.

 

Any amount of sponsorship will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
