Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Uncle Paul loved to run but after suffering a brain haemorrhage at 33yrs old he was unable to continue, Swindon Headway supported him during his recovery and although he suffered with short term memory loss he enjoyed his time with them and his care worker and with their help they were working towards getting him back into work and living independently via a buddy system which we never thought existed until Headway became part of our lives and we, his family, was finally looking forward to him getting his life back again,  Sadly my Uncle died 5yrs later of unrelated issues but we never really forgot about the support Headway gave him. 

I feel if he was alive we’d be running this race together and he would happily want to pay back to those who helped him and as the saying goes every little helps. So big or small I truly appreciate anything you can give.
