Story

I'm fundraising for SameYou and I'm hoping to raise at least £300 to support brain injury recovery now and in the future. But I need your help to get there!Fundraising for SameYou is important to me because  as a family we have battled the consequences of brain injury. 

To do this this on the day the Tour de France rides it's longest stage, I will cycle it with them .... 100s of miles away on a cycle trainer in a small room at a Police training centre.

The aim is 218km (135.5 miles) in the time that Northamptonshire Police early shift are on duty - 8 hrs. For every minute over this time will mean 1 extra mile penalty!

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is caused by injury to the brain after birth. This includes strokes, tumours, concussions and accidents. 1 in 3 people will have an Acquired Brain Injury at some point in their lives but this is hardly ever talked about and survivors often face stigma. SameYou want to change this. They are working to break the silence around brain injury and help give people the best possible chance of recovery after leaving hospital. Any donation would help and would be really appreciated. If you are interested in learning more, go to: https://www.sameyou.org 

Thank you in advance for supporting me. I couldn't do it without kindness of friends and family like you.
