Walk a mile (1.6km) in our shoes July 21st, 2022

An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) can impact a person in many ways – physically, cognitively, emotionally.

For many of us, walking a mile (1.6k) is something we do all the time and take for granted.

However, after a brain injury, travelling a mile can feel as daunting as climbing a mountain.

Some survivors of brain injury may have reduced mobility, many experience chronic fatigue, and others may experience poor balance or changes to their eyesight. People often develop anxiety about being in crowded areas.

On Thursday July 21st 2022, clients, staff, volunteers and friends of Headway Luton gathered in Wardown Park. and took on the challenge of walking/wheeling/running one mile (2 laps) around Wardown Park Lake.

A total of £2,413.20 was raised!

All money raised will be used to support our clients living with an (ABI) in Luton, Houghton Regis and surrounding areas.
