My name is Damian Wasowicz. In 2010 I suffered a traumatic brain injury in an horrific cycling accident. My recovery was nothing short of miraculous and I have lived on to tell my story. You can read more about it in the book I’ve just published on Amazon! https://a.co/dIIwXJV
Surviving and living with a traumatic brain injury is not only difficult for the survivor, but also complicated for family and friends. Headway Gauteng (https://headwaygauteng.co.za/) provides an amazing lighthouse through various support programmes to survivors as well as family and friends.
This is why I’ll be riding as a part of the Headway Heroes (https://m.facebook.com/HeadwayHeroes/) this year, and have been since 2016, to raise awareness and funds for this important charity organisation.

The fundraising target is arbitrary, give what you can.
Thanks! Damian

Headway Gauteng is a registered charity organisation dedicated to offering various support programmes to survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families.
The vast majority of our injured members have sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident, sporting accident or assault. We also assist survivors of acquired brian injuries such as stroke or tumour. These people have led a full life up until the brain injury, which has caused permanent changes to physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural processes.
