Meagan – a Sister

I don’t remember life before Heads Together Camp. For me there never was a life before camp.  My peers have no idea of the world of Heads Together and I am grateful that my family and me have had these times together to be part of this amazing world. If I hadn’t I would be just like everyone else – ignorant and unaware of a whole new life.

Without camp I would be like all other teenage girls arrogant and selfish but I have been to camp ever since I was three years old and I have learned so much. I have learned that people with disabilities can be so strong, so courageous and so determined. I know now that people at camp are not just people that I tolerate or be kind to because I feel sorry for them but they are real people that I value as friends forever.

Meagan’s older sister suffered a stroke in 1999 at the age of 6.

Team Summers

Our daughter has volunteered for Heads Together for the past 7 years. We love hearing about the amazing programs Heads Together offers families and young people following brain injury. We saw the walk as a great way to get involved, support our daughter and Heads Together to continue to provide programs that have such a positive impact in the community. Any spare change you have, big or small would be greatly appreciated. Our target is $2,500.

Founder and Managing Director of Heads Together, Kate started the “Walk” fundraising idea two years ago when she walked 100km with a few others to raise money for Heads Together.   The following year 11 walkers took on the challenge and raise $20,000.

This year Kate is walking in the new Walk Together For Brain Injury 50km Challenge.
