Story

Hello there and welcome, we are Russ & Jojo we are reaching out to all you wonderful people for financial support for children with Brain Injuries across the U.K.

Brain injuries of all types can kill and or leave life changing difficulties.

I (Jojo) have lost a few very close friends to a brain aneurysm and brain tumours all of which if they were known about in younger life there could have been the potential to save my friends lives and possibly extend mine too as I also have a Brain aneurysm mine's called Annie.

I am one of the lucky ones to still be alive I had a brain haemorrhage which lead to me having a stroke which then showed up the bleed on my brain which was of cause sadly a Brain Aneurysm. I then had two operations on my aneurysm/ Brain to stop it from filling up with blood again and bursting, I have managed to rebuild myself and come out the other side, as an adult and single mother this was the hardest thing I have ever done, I can't imagine how hard it must be for families' with young ones going through all this. I give my thanks to God and to the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford for saving me.

Aneurysms and tumours can often start growing from childhood and it's not until, we are dead or halfway to death the things going on in our brains are sadly found.

So here's what we have been doing...

Myself and Russ have been attending many events and created “R” Ali G and Mi Jojo/Julie to start this journey, so now we feel is the right time to platform this further to raise awareness for the (Yoof) youth and bring them respect in their own journeys in our hope to make many young lives better in their pathways be them short, middle and long term.

Please help us save the lives of these young people, kids, babies ,youth so that they can live as normal a life as possible, something we all take for granted.

Please follow our journeys on this platform and in Russ and Jojo Facebook page too.

We have previously attended Boogietown festival Apps Court 2024, Robbie Williams @the Emirates 6th June 2025, we took R AlI G and Mi Julie/Jojo to Rhodes Lindos May 2025 and in support of Surrey Soul Sensation and we also have aims to promote and support our community and businesses where appropriate.

We are also hoping to create some children's books to raise more awareness and money for the charity in the future , we will take help from others on this in due course .

We are hoping we find many likeminded people to help and support .

Thank you so much for reading and hopefully donating and being a part of our journey and this wonderful charity, please spread the word .

Should you be so lucky to see us out and about or even photographed with you please feel free to share your pics with us on our FACEBOOK page where you can also donate and help us make lives worth living and or at least a bit easier surviving with a traumatic brain injury 💃🙏🕺❤️
