I will be hiking the 3 peaks to raise money for The Brain Research Trust.

Three very important people in my life have suffered from brain injuries. Two of whom are no longer with us as a result. These people have had a huge impact on my life and the world is a better, brighter place for having had them in it.

Ben Nevis for Bill Keith – Bill was a complete ray of light in my life, and the lives of many others. He was incredibly paternal, a provider and always a protector. In very hard times, he provided me with a safe space no questions asked. I loved him very much and I will miss him forever.

Scafell Pike for Sharon Nagadya-Tendo – Sharon lit up a room. She had a huge heart and was a loyal best friend to my sister. She made everyone she met feel cared about and valued. Knowing all the homeless people in Levenshulme by name, and making a point of speaking to them, is just one example of the type of inspirational person Sharon was.

Snowdon with Roy Perrett – Roy is the best Grandad little Bill could have ever asked for. He has helped me navigate so many situations through advice and guidance, the space to process my thoughts and feelings, and the willingness to actively support whenever he can. Thankfully Roy recovered from his brain injury and is now a spectacular cyclist, a Scrabble master, and a doting Grandad.

Any donation would be hugely appreciated!
