Running 30km for Connectivity!
6 years ago, a concussion turned my world upside down...
For months after my injury, I struggled to even get out of bed, and the idea of running again seemed almost impossible. Navigating recovery was isolating, unpredictable, and challenging. There were so many moments that I felt completely alone, and now I realise many people with concussion and brain injuries feel the same.
A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting the team from Connectivity. Since then, I've seen firsthand the incredible work they do to support people affected by brain injury across Australia.
Connectivity raises awareness of concussion and traumatic brain injury, provides education and resources for individuals, families, schools, workplaces and communities, supports Australian brain injury research, and creates opportunities for connection and support for those navigating life after brain injury.
Their current campaign, "Let's Tackle TBI, Together", really resonated with me. After experiencing the isolation that can come with a brain injury, one of my goals is to make sure that nobody feels they have to face this alone.
So on the 26th of July, the 6th anniversary of my brain injury, I’ll be running 30km in Adelaide's Hills to City to raise funds for Connectivity Traumatic Brain Injury Australia!
Every km is a reminder of how far I’ve come, and every donation directly supports an Australian organisation to provide support, education, and fund research in TBI
Please help me help them by giving whatever you can. The more people that know about Connectivity, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Hey Em, This is fantastic!! I can appreciate on some levels what you've been through with my experience with vestibular migraines, and just doing basic activities took so much more energy. I can only imagine what you went through on your journey.. So an easy 30km run, you've totally got this! I'd like to say I'd run with you in support but I'm not quite there yet. So I'll be thinking of you and cheering you on in spirit.
