BBC presenter helps raise money for Child Brain Injury Trust

A presenter on the BBC's One Show has visited a Dorset school to raise awareness about the Child Brain Injury Trust.

The One Show's Rav Wilding and a film crew spent the day with 13-year-old Max Brimble, who suffered a serious head injury eight years ago when he was kicked by a horse, the Dorset Echo reported.

Wilding visited Max's school, Westfield Special School in Weymouth, and then spent some time with the boy's family at their home.

A three-minute clip of Wilding's visit will be shown as part of the Children in Need week of events and can also be viewed online.

Speaking to the newspaper, the boy's mother Carole Potter said that the clip would highlight the work of the Child Brain Injury Trust, and added that the trust had "provided much-needed support for all the family".

The Child Brain Injury Trust is a UK-wide charity offering support, information and training on childhood acquired brain injury.

Max managed to get back on his bike five years after suffering the life-threatening head injury, which had kept him in hospital for ten months, according to the newspaper.
