This year, Stella will be taking part in the Great North Run with support from the staff and volunteers of Bradbury Wing... and walking over the Finish Line. 

She acquired a brain injury last year, after leaving hospital she was moved to a care home that wasn’t suited to her needs. This left Stella feeling isolated as she was completely reliant on others for all of her care needs.

Stella has now lived at Bradbury Wing in Jesmond, Newcastle, for one year. She credits the dedicated Bradbury Wing team with turning her life around and now does things she never thought possible. 

Sylvia, Stella's mum, said: “The care and support that Stella has received from Eni and the staff at Bradbury Wing is second to none - I can’t praise them enough. Stella has progressed so much and is very happy. We are absolutely delighted."

Please support Stella if you can, as she achieves the dream of walking again. Thank you so much for your donations - they will go directly to Bradbury Wing to support Stella and everyone who lives there.
