Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m walking 100 miles in January in support of Headway Worcestershire. 

In 2014 I had a significant, near fatal bleed affecting frontal and temporal lobe deep in my brain needing open surgery. This was a life changing injury. I lost important parts of my life and my identity. As a result I live with many invisible long term consequences. 

I continue to have to work very hard every day with consequences of my traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since my TBI I need to set a challenge for myself each day that people without a life changing brain injury  wouldn’t need to think about, let alone feel it was a challenge. 

Motivation is one of the consequences I struggle with so this challenge is somethingI’ll be hugely proud to achieve. Another consequence is I have daily fatigue where I need a sleep in afternoon, so knowing I’ve ‘earned’ a sleep will help me feel I deserved it!

Headway Worcestershire have supported and guided me in my rehabilitation and onwards to rediscover my new self with the understanding, care and boundaries I was shown by them. They continue to be hugely valuable to me.
