Story
Hey guys,
As many of you know, I'm competing in the 2013 Melbourne Marathon Festival, attempting to achieve my goal of running a half marathon whilst also trying to raise much needed funds for the JMB Foundation.
It's been a long 10 months of training, I've gone from not being able to run further than 100m in December last year to now being somewhat ready for the 21km of pain that awaits me.
The charity I've chosen to raise funds for is the JMB foundation, an amazing charity which raises money and public awareness for Acquired Brain Injury.
Over the past few months, some of you may have noticed that I've been wearing bright orange laces on my shoes. This has been apart of my effort to help raise awareness for one of the JMB Foundation's affiliates, Step Back, Think.
The money raised will be used by the JMB Foundation to:
- provide additional therapy hours - important for stimulating and rehabilitating neural pathways and relieving discomfort;
- provide access to community activities - important for social and emotional wellbeing;
- purchase of essential equipment
Here's a link to the JMB Foundation's website if you'd like to get a bit more information on what they do: http://jmbfoundation.org.au/
If you would like to help support me reach my goal and help raise funds for the JMB Foundation, feel free to leave a donation. Any sized donation will help!
Thanks for all your support!
Mia

JMB Foundation - The James Macready-Bryan Foundation
The JMB Foundation was established in 2007 to provide support for the rehabilitation of James Macready-Bryan after he incurred life-changing injuries to his brain as a result of a serious assault in October 2006, when he was just 20 years old. James fell, unconscious, hitting his head on the pavement. Unfortunately, when he fell, he also fell through a gap in our social support system, which provides very limited funding for the care and rehabilitation of young acquired brain injury patients.
The Foundation has two main aims: to provide financial support for care and rehabilitation, not only for James, but also for other young sufferers of an acquired brain injury (ABI); and to give a public voice to those young people – who all too often literally cannot speak for themselves – and to their families and carers.
Our fundraising allows us to provide vital financial support for additional services in care facilities, for the provision of better and more appropriate home care, for participation in community activities that are otherwise out of financial reach for many, and for equipment and home modifications that may mean the difference between a young ABI sufferer living in a care facility and being able to live at home. Funds that we provide make a genuine difference to the care, comfort and quality of life for these young men and women.
