Brain injury charity calls for cyclistsRSS Feed

Brain injury charity Headway is calling on people who are interested in cycling to help them raise funds and awareness for brain injuries with a series of sponsored cycle rides.

The charity, which aims to promote awareness about the effects of brain injuries and provide support to sufferers and their carers, has a full programme of events this summer to support its cause.

A bike ride from London to Paris is in full swing, with two more planned for July and September. The four-day tour can be linked to a further five-day ride going on to Geneva.

Meanwhile, in the UK there is a 50-mile bike ride from Richmond to Windsor on June 20th and this November the charity has a two-week cycling tour of Vietnam.

Fundraisers for the British Institute For Brain Injured Children (BIBIC) cycled over 970 miles from John O' Groats to Lands End recently.

They raised around £2,700 for the charity which offers support to families who care for children with traumatic and acquired brain injuries.
