Every half an hour in the UK, a child or young person will acquire a brain injury; no child should have to go through this, but when they do they, and their families, need all the support they can get.

Im taking on 5k a day in May to raise money to help these children and families.

The Child Brain Injury Trust provides information, support and training to anyone affected by this devastating and life changing condition. Visit their website www.childbraininjurytrust.org.uk to find out more about us and the work they do.

My pledge starts easy.. as 1st-3rd May im in the Lakes for some "me time" which includes walks. However, I lost my dad on 23rd April, so with funeral plan meetings, his funeral, and his birthday all being in the next 2 weeks, and a busy work schedule and other social committments to contend with, doing 5k a day in May is going to be really hard, so Id appreciate all the support I can get.

Thanks for reading.
