Personal message
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.
Find us on social media with #HeadwayHeroes
The fundraising target is arbitrary, give what you can.
Thanks! Damian

Statistics
Headway Gauteng (The Brain Injury Association)

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.
