Hi, my name is Imy. On Wednesday 16th November, I will be running 10km along with two of my great friends, Molly and Arabella, to raise awareness of the long-lasting effects of brain injury through the charity ‘SameYou’. SameYou is an incredible charity working to develop better recovery treatment for brain injury and stroke survivors.

Earlier this year, my mum, Camilla, had an Ischemic stroke. She had been living an incredibly healthy lifestyle, including being an excellent runner. Almost overnight, her ability to walk, speak, and write was lost. Since this happened, however, my mum has shown through her unwavering determination that even when things begin to get tough, one should never give up.

The funds we raise will be donated to SameYou to help brain injury survivors like my mum get the support and recovery treatment they need to feel that they haven’t lost the person they were before.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.
