Pier to Pier sponsored walk · 28 July 2013

EVERY 90 SECONDS someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (ABI). There are many possible causes, such as a fall, a road traffic accident, an assault, a tumour or a stroke. A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we're here to help

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi,  My name is Stella.  On August 11th 2013, I'm taking part in a beauty pageant that supports the Headway Brain Injury Association.  Fundraising was optional and as I read about their fantastic work, I came up with a sponsored walk, from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier.

A little about me

I'm happily married to Tim, who encouraged me to take part in Face of the World Beauty Pageant, as it's been a few years since i did any modelling!  I thought after having my 4 beautiful children, that part of my life was over - however Tim thought I could do it & so it began.  After reading about how much money they raise for Headway Brain Injury, I wanted to show my support & came up with a sponsored walk.  I have a rallied around some friends to join me & hopefully raise as much money as possible. 

Here is a list of what your money will do:

  • To increase awareness of brain injury and its consequences
  • To initiate activities and campaigns which will reduce the incidence of brain injury
  • To provide information and support for people with brain injuries, their relatives and carers and concerned professional people
  • To promote improved approaches to brain injury screening, acute care, assessment, rehabilitation and social re-integration
  • To assist people with brain injuries to return to community living, including access to appropriate accommodation, social outlets, and productive activity
  • To support and help to establish Headway groups throughout the UK in furtherance of the charity's mission statement

    Thank you for taking the time to read my story & Here's hoping we reach our target :)
