Tonia's 26.2 miles for Headway Gloucestershire

Tonia Whitebeam is raising money for Headway Gloucestershire

Marathon Eryri · 24 October 2026

We provide specialist services across Gloucestershire for people with acquired brain injuries, their partners, families, friends and carers. This means supporting people as they adjust to the physical, psychological, economic and social changes that can be brought about through an acquired brain injury. Our Enablement Service is centre based and open every weekday offering activities that focus on the five elements of rehabilitation: This takes the form of a structured timetable so that survivors can select the activities that help them work towards their goals. Our Individual Support Service is designed to meet individual needs, abilities and preferences with a focus on supporting survivors, their families and carers to come to terms with the changed circumstances brought about by brain injury.

Story

Hello Everyone,

On the 24th of October I am taking on the challenge of UK's toughest marathon, Marathon Eryri in Snowdonia's national park, North Wales.

I am doing this to raise vital funds for Headway Gloucestershire.

As some of you know I work for Headway Gloucestershire and in the past have lost both parents to brain injuries. So this much needed charity is very close to my heart.

I have seen first-hand the incredible services and support Headway Gloucestershire give to people with acquired brain injuries, their families, friends and carers. A vital charity needed in the Gloucestershire community.

Marathon training can be hard. I am currently spending my early mornings and weekends pushing through the heat, long miles, sore legs and a recovering fractured ankle. But knowing that every mile of training helps support Headway Gloucestershire keeps me moving forward.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
