Meet our London Marathon runner!

We’d like to introduce you to Nick who’s running the London Marathon for Headway Sussex this autumn. He’ll be raising much needed funds to support people living with a brain injury. Whilst most of us are relaxing enjoying the summer, Nick is already 4 weeks into his training schedule, getting up and out early to avoid the summer heat.

On Sunday 2nd October 2022, Nick Maxwell will be running the TCS London Marathon to raise money for Headway Sussex, a specialist charity supporting people living with a brain injury.

A brain injury can be caused by a stroke, infection, sporting injury, assault or trauma. It can be life-changing for the person involved and also their immediate family. Roles and responsibilities can change overnight and everyday tasks can become challenging.

Why Headway Sussex?

Nick has a relative who is a Trustee at Headway Sussex and is aware of the work they do to support people within their communities. He has fundraised for them in the past through sporting events but this is his first time taking part in the London Marathon and he’s hoping to make it memorable for him and worthwhile for Headway Sussex.

Take a look at this video of Nick to learn more about him.
