In April 2027, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon. 26.2 miles that will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge I have ever done, both physically and mentally, but for a reason that means so much more than simply crossing a finish line.
Although I was lucky enough to secure a ballot place, I’ve chosen to run for Headway, a charity that holds an incredibly special place in my family’s heart.
Around 12 years ago, my father-in-law suffered a catastrophic brain injury. The impact on his life and our family was unimaginable. He was left living with a constant migraine for seven years, unable to work or enjoy life as he once had. Things became so difficult that he reached a point where he no longer wanted to be here.
When he eventually found Headway, everything began to change. They provided him with support, understanding and, most importantly, hope when he and our family needed it most. They helped not only him, but also my husband and the rest of our family navigate an incredibly difficult time.
They will never forget what Headway did for them and this is my way of giving something back to a charity that made such a difference to the people i love.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help Headway continue supporting individuals and families affected by brain injury.
If you are able to donate, share my page or simply cheer me on along the way, I would be so grateful.
Thank you so much for your support!
