Bike helmet promoter nominated for awardRSS Feed
A woman from Northampton has been nominated for a national award by a brain injury association for her campaign to get children to wear bicycle helmets.
Helen Stokes, of Abington, is a finalist in the campaigner of the year category of the annual awards run by Headway, the brain injury association, according to the Northampton Chronicle and Echo.
In support of Headway's Action for Brain Injury Week, which had the theme "use your head, wear a helmet", Ms Stokes used a series of presentations and workshops in primary schools in the town to teach pupils the importance of wearing a helmet. She also ran a poster competition to encourage them to tell other children that wearing a cycling helmet is essential.
Ms Stokes was working at Christchurch Court in Abington, a centre which provides specialised care and support for people recovering from an acquired brain injury, when she decided to back the campaign.
One of the residents at the centre had suffered a head injury through not wearing a helmet while cycling, according to the newspaper.
The Headway awards ceremony will take place at The Dorchester Hotel in London on December 10th.
According to Headway, brain injury is one of the fastest growing disabilities among young people in the UK.
