Last community thank you to the incredible Angelo for creating the idea for Angelo’s Walk, and for walking over 100km, visiting Heads Together families all over Victoria, sharing your story and your awesome self to raise not only funds but also much needed awareness for brain injury. Judging by the more than 1000 views that your fabulous walk videos got, we would say that a whole lot more people in the world got a better idea of how brain injury impacts young people, and fell a little bit in love with Angelo’s ridiculous sense of humour and his huge passion for making a difference to other kids and families. Thank you Angelo, the more than $16,000 that you raised will make such a difference to our families program but more than that your passion for making Angelo’s Walk an annual event which will grow every year will make an impact that lasts forever.

Another awesome community member, Tim Buckley, who achieved a dream that started in his early days of rehab, running a marathon after brain injury! Tim trained for 3years with a few false starts thanks to COVID and finally made it through the finish line of the Melbourne Marathon in October, raising over $3,500 for our Heading Out program which Tim calls his turning point which started him on a new path to rebuilding life after brain injury. Thanks Tim not only for your generosity but also for inspiring all of us to reach for our dreams.

Our amazing community for getting behind every crazy fundraising campaign we come up with. This first thankyou goes out to Simon Patford for making the courageous decision to shave his beloved (and let’s face it really long) beard to raise funds for Heads Together. I don’t think anyone at the April Family Camp will ever forget the beard shaving extravaganza complete with back up dancers! The Simon Says Shave campaign raised over $7000 to support our family camps, so thanks Simon, and from the looks of how fast its growing back maybe we can look forward to another shave next year!!!
