I have been privileged to be given a Charity place for “Headway Jersey” to run in this year’s London Marathon, which is taking place Sunday 3^rd October 2021. In taking part I have been challenged with raising £4000.00 for Headway Jersey.

I have never run a marathon before, so this is not an easy challenge for me, along with working and working hard to plan further fundraising events I will be putting in long hard training sessions to make sure that I am able to achieve my goal! 

"Headway Jersey provides essential support, information, and services to people in Jersey who are affected by brain injury. As the charity has grown and awareness of the work we do for those who are affected by brain injuries increases, we are contacted regularly for information and advice. 

From very small beginnings in 1997 the charity has grown dramatically. The Headway centre is now seeing as increase in the number of referrals. We currently have over 150 survivors of brain injury registered with us as members. Some require occasional support, however, up to 70 members access our services on a weekly basis. These services are an essential lifeline for our members and also provide support and respite to families and carers who need it most."

But to be able to do this they are in urgent need of funds to be able to keep the centre open. Due to Covid they lost £150,000.00 in not being able to hold fundraising actives and events last year.
