In 2017, our lives changed overnight when my dad was involved in a serious bike accident. What followed was an incredibly challenging time for him and for us as a family.

Throughout his recovery, Headway has been a constant source of support, guidance and hope. They have not only helped my dad rebuild his strength and confidence, but have also supported us as a family as we learned to navigate life after brain injury.

That’s why I’m taking on the Edinburgh Marathon — to give something back to a charity that has given so much to us.

Every mile I run is a thank you for the care, encouragement and community they’ve provided since 2017.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world to me — and it will help Headway continue supporting other families like ours when they need it most.

Thank you so much for your support 💛

Every 90 seconds, someone is admitted to a UK hospital with a brain injury.

Whether because of head injury, tumour, stroke, haemorrhage or neurological infection, the effects of a brain injury can be life-changing and life-long. That’s why, when the unthinkable happens, expert help is vital.

Headway UK – the brain injury association is here to support survivors, their families and carers, every step of the way.
