To continue on with our 'Friday Fundraiser' feature, the Child Brain Injury Trust would like to thank sixteen year old Eleanor Broad who recently held a coffee morning in her home city of East Lothian and managed to raise an amazing £387.
Eleanor sustained a traumatic brain injury from a horse riding accident a few years ago and the Child Brain Injury Trust were able to support Eleanor and her family. It is wonderful to hear Eleanor wanted to give something back to help families faced with a similar situation. Thank you Eleanor.
Our Friday Fundraiser blog is our way of saying thank you, but it is also a chance for our fundraisers to tell you in their own words why they chose to support us; so here is Eleanor's story.
“After I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2009, my family and I received a wealth of well needed advice and support from the Child Brain Injury Trust. I was motivated to fundraise for them to help them continue their great work and also as a way of saying “thank you” for the help my family and I received. It is extremely rewarding knowing the money I have raised is going to a be used to help other children and their families just like mine.”
If Eleanor has inspired you to hold your own coffee morning this summer, then please contact Emily Honey for more information. As you can see it is a wonderful way to bring together family, friends, neighbours and the whole community if you wish.Once again a huge thank you to Eleanor for her support.
