Charity
There’s no text book that can prepare you for what happens when your child’s brain is suddenly injured. Bones can mend and scars can heal, but a brain injury stays with you for life. It impacts on everything you think, feel and do. Every year, thousands of parents contact the Child Brain Injury Trust to help them prepare for the challenges that lie ahead when a child or young person acquires a brain injury. This could be the result of an accident, an illness like meninigitis or encephalitis, a poisoning, stroke or a tumour. CBIT provides vital information and support when it's needed most. CBIT also works closely with children and young people with an acquired brain injury to help them understand what has happened to them.

Robert to sleep in a hammock for a Year!!!!
Hi,
I am Robert Challinor and I intend to sleep in a hammock for a year (except for any illness that might stop me...) My trusty dog Duke will be right there with me (or under me) to keep me company.
I am looking to raise money for The Child Brain Injury Trust and Magpas. Please sponsor me any amount you can for these 2 great charities as it will keep me going through the winter....
Check back here for updates on my year:)
Robert and Duke
