Tue 22 Nov 2022

Once a year, Headway's members, friends and supporters come together to pay tribute to some very special people: brain injury survivors, carers, volunteers and campaigners whose personal achievements have earned the admiration of everyone around them. Their stories are moving and inspirational.

The Alex Richardson Achiever of the Year award sponsored by Slater & Gordon. This award celebrates the outstanding determination, strength, and courage of brain injury survivors.

Three inspirational people have been nominated for the award:

The finalists

Winner: Mark Kennedy

A brain injury survivor from Northants who has run over 100 half marathons, delivered inspirational speeches across the UK and co-authored four books.

Dudley Garner

A brain injury survivor from Norfolk who found recovery through running and now motivates over 400 people at weekly Couch to 5K events.

Mark Ewart

A brain injury survivor from Lisburn, Northern Ireland. After falling from a ladder and doctors preparing to claim him brain dead, Mark fought back and has made outstanding progress in his recovery.
