Every now and again I change my profile picture of Facebook to the picture below. I am trying to raise awareness of brain injuries and the effects on families and friends. Brain injuries have such a devastating effect on everyone from the person involved to friends, family, work colleagues, health professionals and even people who don't know the person.
Brain Injury is BIG Charity
The main charity I am involved in at the moment is Brain Injury is BIG. The group is a support network for people who have loved ones with devastating brain injuries. They may be severely disabled, in a persistent vegetative state, minimally aware/conscious or locked in.
The charity started off with 5 people all in the same place, in the same hospital, in the same situation. It has expanded over the last 2 years to involve 270+ people, some of whom are overseas.
