Personal message
On the 10th April 2011, I will be competing in my first Ironman – a 3,8km swim, 180km cycle and a 42km run. This year I will be racing to raise funds for Headway, a welfare organization dedicated to offering various support programs to survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families. As a stroke survivor, the time and costs involved in the rehabilitation process are very close to home, and I’d like to encourage all of my friends, family and colleagues to donate toward this worthy cause with me.

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.
