Story
For 2 years in hospital and 5 in rehab Liz and I were often given very bleak predictions such as: when Liz was told on the first anniversary of our meeting, 'If he doesn't wake up today he'll never wake up' and when we were told that I'd never walk again. During the long periods of rehabilitation and adapting to life changing disabilities that many survivors endure, we know how important hope is, to continue with determination and make a good recovery. By telling our story we aim to give hope to others, for example how vercoming physical challenges can be milestones in recovery. In our case from learning to walk with our son Jack, walking down the aisle at our wedding, to running a triathlon together. The cognitive challenges can be even greater, in my case from retiring as a university lecturer to starting a new career as a speaker, life and business coach. Forming new HABITs can help and our story can give survivors hope, despite the often bleak predictions. We are now setting up HABIT (Hope After Brain Injury Trust) as a charity to tell our story and give hope to survivors of brain injury. The trust will also provide funds to help people to take on physical challenges as part of their rehabilitation. we need funds to set up to register as a charity etc
To demonstrate my commitment to achieving our ambition for HABIT I will be shaving off my hair at midday on July 4th. This can be seen live on my Facebook page

4 years agoThe hair is growing back already after a week. It's scary seeing all the engineering especially the size of the plate put in to replace the skull that had to be cut away to save my life, There is only a 5% survival rate for this level of injury. I am so grateful to everyone that has supported me to reach this level of recovery and still ongoing. Thank you to all our supporters helping us reach our target amount. We will now put the funds to good use, helping others that are going through what we have been going through for 13 years

4 years agoThe stage is set for the BIG HAIR shave tomorrow at 12 noon. Tune in live on my Facebook page to watch Jack uncover the lumpy bumpy head that was receiving lots of medical attention when he was born 13 years ago. The sites of boreholes plates and shunts will emerge for all to see when the moon rises at noon. All for a good cause to start our HABIT.
