Anyone who knows me will probably know I’m not a natural born runner! But when I got the opportunity to sign up to do this event to raise money for such an amazing charity I thought this was a chance to push myself to enter- despite the fact it involves running just over 21km!

Brain injuries are a significant part of my life given my twin sister has severe learning difficulties arising from a brain injury. Every day I can see from a personal perspective how much this can affect a family and The Child Brain Injury Trust does so much to support families when a child is suffering from a brain injury through difficult and challenging times.

Every half an hour in the UK, a child or young person will acquire a brain injury. The Child Brain Injury Trust provides information, support and training to anyone affected by this devastating and life changing condition.
