Bournemouth Half Marathon 2024 · 13 October 2024 ·

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

In 2013, doctors told my family I may never walk again after I suffered a bleed on the brain.

I was found fitting in the street by a Good Samaritan following an early Saturday morning run, while working as a sports journalist in Cheltenham.

Ever since that near-fateful day I have been trying to find my place back in society again - and Headway (the National brain injury association) have helped me do that.

In just over the decade since that day, I have achieved some of my lifetime dreams of reporting at my second and third Rugby World Cups in 2015 and 2016 - but more importantly become a father to the most amazing little boy.
