Take on a new challenge!

Every year we support over 700 people living with brain injury and their families, but we could not do this without our Headway Heroes, generous and inspirational people who take on a challenge, small or big, and raise vital funds for our services.

There are a lot of opportunities to walk, run or cycle for Headway East London. Choose the one that suits you and contact us to secure your place!

The Hackney Half, 21st May
The Ride London, Essex 100 – 28th May
The Nightrider, 3th-4th June
The Big Half, 3rd September
The Royal Parks Half, 8th October

You can do a challenge solo, with friends or you colleagues – and you can even design your own! Like Alex who raised £10,000 over 1 year in memory of his dad; or Freddy, one of our members, who took the plunge and skydived to raise £1,500 for Headway.

Taking on a fundraising challenge can be very rewarding – but don’t take it from us – our Headway Heroes say it best!

"I did skydiving for Headway and it was amazing. My friends thought I was mad! I wanted to challenge myself, especially after my brain injury, to see how far I could go. It boosted my confidence and I was able to turn around negative thoughts and come up with new possibilities. I felt happy and proud and would like to do it again!"
