When Mike Patten’s friend suffered a brain injury in September 2021, Mike decided to do something to support the charity that helped, and in July 2022 he ran the 100km Race to the Stones, in Wiltshire.
Mike raised £503.70 for Headway Central Lancashire along with friends, John Hyde and Ruth Cornish, who were also on the race.
Mike said, “this was my biggest target of the year, and the race was pretty tough to be honest as I’ve never run that distance before (31 miles Saturday, 31 miles Sunday,) but I wanted to give something back to the charity and to say thank you”.
Laura Brown, Headway Assistant Manager said, “we are delighted to receive this donation which will support other families going through rehabilitation after a brain injury”.
