Story

Thanks for visiting this page;  five years ago, on October 6th 2012, I experienced an intensely sore head whilst cycling it wasn’t a migraine but a brain hemorrhage I feel asleep that afternoon and was lucky enough to regain consciousness two weeks later. My recovery whilst not 100% is  a small miracle and I am on my bike again and panting up hills albeit very slowly but the important thing is I am doing it. Over the last five years lots of people have helped me but Headway in Glasgow is perhaps the only place where the hidden struggles I and my fellow users experience on a daily basis makes any sense.  To celebrate five years and to help those whose recovery has not been as complete I have set myself a challenge to cycle round Arran (approximately 55 Miles) and then climb Goatfell all in one day.

All the money raised will go to Headway and help them help people like me. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
