Sarah threw herself out of a plane to take on a daredevil skydive in honour of her dad, who experienced a brain injury caused by a car accident before he passed away last year.
She raised more than £400 in his memory.
In April, Tim completed the Brighton Marathon – his first ever time tackling the 26.2 mile distance.
He said: “This was the most unforgettable moment of my life. I am really proud of myself that I didn’t give up.
The volunteers, adults and kids who gave high fives and cheers all along the way were so amazing.”
Libby raised more than £200 when she walked 12,000 steps a day throughout March – 372,000 total – for her dad, who died from a subarachnoid haemorrhage in 2016 aged 44.
She said: “It has been a wonderful experience. What The Brain Charity do is just amazing. They change lives.”
Roisin raised £300 by taking part in our Stroll & Roll challenge to travel at least 60km in May.
She said: “Completing it was hard but rewarding. I have a neurological condition so it made me more determined to do this.”
The sun shone on the Portsdown Group Practice staff when they pounded the pavements for a sponsored walk.
They chose to support us as one of their team has chiari malformation and because they regularly come across neurological conditions. These superstars raised £1,417.04 across 6 GP surgeries.
Claire and Laura took on the Wirral Coastal Walk last month in memory of Claire’s dad, who passed away from a brain tumour.
They walked 12.5 miles in 4.5 hours, raising nearly £400. Check out the homemade brain boppers too!
Mary smashed the Horwich Triathlon for The Brain Charity, in memory of her sister who sadly passed away from a brain haemorrhage.
She has raised more than £900 – far surpassing her £200 target.
Earlier this year, Lisa held a quiz night at Sale Sports Club dedicated to the memory of Yasal, a cherished teammate of FC Sporting Sale Tigers Under 15s who died of a brain aneurysm aged just 14.
She raised more than £705 for The Brain Charity.
