I apologise now for the long post. A few people know, a few don’t but last year I had a brain injury. It was quite a bad bleed on the brain so sever that i needed to be rushed to Southampton general hospital for emergency surgery after spending 4 hours being stabilised at QA. They didn’t think I’d make it and it was touch and go, fortunately I have made a full recovery with the exception of a bad memory and fatigue if I push too hard. Some aren’t as fortunate as me and because of that this year in December I’ll be running an ultra marathon, 50km or 32 miles in the new forest, this is a challenge for me, I’ve ran 10-15 miles but never a marathon let alone an ultra but the training has already started.

I’ll be working hard in training to push my limits tired or not to get my trainers on and the runs in in preparation for December.

I will doing it for a charity called Headway - Portsmouth and South East Hampshire

You can have a look at their page but they help people who have had brain injuries after to offer help and support.

I’m asking for donations no matter how big or small to help people who have been affected by this.

When mine happened it knocked me for 6, physically and mentally. It’s a horrible thing to go through and takes absolutely ages to recover from if your luck enough to be able to do so.

I was a strong fit and healthy man and it took months for me to even be able to go back to work full time. For some people this isn’t the case.

I’d love to get as much up as possible for this charity as I can’t stress enough how important it is to have people around you in that time. I was fortunate to have a true gem of loving caring girlfriend, family and friends to support me and help. Unfortunately others don’t have anyone and/or need more help than those people can give.

I’m not expecting miracles as I know times are hard and anything I raise will be appreciated and greatly received but if you can spare some time and a little money then headway and I will be very thankful. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your donations
