In April Matt Baggs, Chloe Cains and Tim Cosh will be cycling over 500 miles with 35000ft of climbing around the North coast of Scotland, completely unsupported over 5 days in order to raise as much money as possible for Lorraine Truong’s rehabilitation and to increase awareness about #myBRAINmyRULES who provide support and advice to people who have suffered brain injuries.

For the past 3 years Lorraine has been fighting to live with the limitations, daily pain and discomfort from multiple brain injuries sustained while racing her bike. It has changed her life beyond recognition, where even simple tasks are now a huge challenge. She needs our help.

All your money will be used to help brain injured athletes and Lorraine on her road to recovery

Any donations over £50 will receive a #myBRAINmyRULES T-Shirt!

Thank you for donating to #myBRAINmyRULES

Here is Lorraine’s story:

I was a swiss Enduro and DH rider, known as Pocket Rocket. I shared my time between riding and developing bikes, as I am a engineer for my main sponsor BMC. In July 2015, I crashed hard and was left brain injured. Since that day, I am learning how to live again... and I try to share my experience such that athletes get better protected agains Traumatic Brain Injuries. I also hope that I might help others who are struggling with this injury.

A bit of me faded out that day. But I keep deep down the will to ride again. I need the joy that being on a bike brings me. :-)

“Brain injuries – including concussions - are silent and invisible injuries that can too easily be ignored.. until one takes away your life.

Before mine, I never realised how serious and debilitating it could be.

TBI SUCKS!

But through my story, I hope to raise awareness. Every time a rider tells me he or she took it easy because of a head hit or that someone reached the association myBrainmyRules to ask advice for a friend who got a concussion, it feels like a victory.
