EVERY 90 SECONDS someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (ABI). There are many possible causes, such as a fall, a road traffic accident, an assault, a tumour or a stroke. A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we're here to help

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We've been wanting to raise some money for charity since Dad passed away in October 2019, but unfortunately the global pandemic had other ideas! 

Now we can be out again I have decided to take on the challenge of abseiling down Millers Dale bridge in the Peak District - which is an 90ft abseil with 70ft of this free hanging! I will also be completing a skydive at the end of my veterinary placement year to commemorate his birthday. 

Dad was rushed to hospital in October 2019 after a sudden, very severe brain haemorrhage. I was away at university at the time but drove home to find he was already in a coma. He sadly passed away 3 days later with our family all around him but as he was already in the coma I felt none of us got a proper goodbye and so it's become my mission to try and make him proud and 'pop up' to see him in a plane!

Headway help families and boost research into brain injuries; we picked them in the hope that one day brain injuries will become more treatable and less severe so that other families do not have to say goodbye to their loved ones under similar conditions to which we did - I didn't get the chance to properly update him with how my first year of university was going and he was such a big motivation for getting me in to university to start a degree I loved - he knew I'd be happy in the veterinary industry before I did! 

Please support us in any way that you can - even the smallest donations can make the biggest difference <3 You never know what's around the corner so you have to push right on through, whether it's a tiny footstep or a big leap! Dad was the sort of dad that could see if something would benefit you but you were too scared to go for it, he'd push you and make you go for it (albeit while you shout on the way) but ultimately you'd thank him for it later. So I guess what I'm trying to say really, is thank you Dad for making me into the person that I am and being a constant reminder to strive forward, take a few risks and to just have fun - this is for you.
