Lochalsh Dirty Dozen · 6 June 2026

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

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

That's quite a scary thought isn't it, every 90 seconds! and our family's 90 seconds came up in July last year. With my Mum being admitted with a Sub-Arachnoid Haemorrhage. A rather scary moment for all involved. But with catching it when we did and the great help from everyone at The institute of Neurology Glasgow, I am always happy to say that my Mum has made a full recovery!!

I hadn't even heard of this until it happened to my Mum. So I've decided to try and raise some awareness! Even if that does entail running 12 Miles The Dirty Dozen around Glen Elg! I was told the route was 'mostly road' the first time I asked, however now i look might as well be no road at all!

Headway South Lanarkshire is here to support survivors, their families and carers, every step of the way.

Training for this has already started and if you told me in July last year when this all kicked off that I would be running a half marathon the following year i would have just laughed!

Join me in supporting Headway South Lanarkshire and if you’re able, please Gift Aid your donation and help me make an even bigger impact!

Any help is GREATLY apricated and will go along way to helping my local headway branch!

Thanks for reading and wish me luck (I'm definitely going to need it)!
