Action for Brain Injury Week - Saturday

The weekend has arrived which must only mean one thing; skydivers! Today we focus on a member of our Legal Services Directory, Leigh Day and how they have taken to the skies to take action and raise money for the Child Brain Injury Trust.

Tomorrow 5 members of the law firm Leigh Day will bravely be undertaking a tandem skydive in aid of the Child Brain Injury Trust. Julien Gless, Ellen Parry, Abdelghani Bendjenni, Jonathan Chand and Marie Hobart will all be jumping from Swindon Airfield on Sunday 19th May. So far they have managed to raise £1770 for the charity.

Jonathan Chand one of the brave skydivers had this to say: “Although many would be terrified at the thought of jumping 10,000ft from a small plane, the thought of all the young children and their families who have to overcome the challenges of a brain injury every day gives me the motivation to be able to do this. The Child Brain Injury Trust do an excellent job to help assist and any money raised to aid their cause is well worth the knee trembling jump!”

We wish the team the best of luck tomorrow and look forward to seeing some photos.

Why Legal Action is so Important 

The Child Brain Injury Trust produces an annual Legal Services Directory because we understand that our families may need access to legal services following their child’s brain injury. Rather than instructing your local solicitor, the law firms featured in our directory are specialists in personal injury or clinical negligence claims and have experience of working on cases linked to children’s claims.

If you believe there may have been negligence or someone was at fault in relation to a child’s brain injury we urge you to take action and have a look through our Legal Services Directory.  There are many useful articles to help you navigate your way through the system.

Leigh Day feature as a member in our Legal Services Directory and we thank the team for showing their support during Action for Brain Injury Week.
