Super stoked to share that I'm volunteering with @headway_nz to facilitate a connect group for young people navigating life after concussion and brain injury.

This one's close to home. After my own brain injury, the hardest part was honestly how isolating it felt. I didn't know anyone my age who'd been through it, what life might look like after my injury, or how to deal with what I was going through. At this point of my life, I wish I had been able to speak to someone who had gone through what I had, to share my experiences with them and learn from theirs.

The purpose of this group is to be just that, a casual monthly catch-up for young people dealing with concussion and brain injury who might appreciate a yarn with someone else who's gone through the same thing.

Every brain injury is different — mild concussion to severe brain injuries and everything in between. Wherever you're at, you're welcome, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, flick me a message or reach out to @headway_nz for details. My hope is that this reaches at least one person who was in the position I was, suffering in silence and not knowing that there was help all around me. 🧠🤍

Here’s the story.

I don’t normally like to take myself too seriously and so talking about this in front of a camera was pretty difficult, please excuse the nerves.

I ended up with a bleed around my brain after taking a heavy hit in my first amateur muay thai kickboxing fight.

I’m incredibly blessed to have received the treatment that ultimately saved my life and allowed me to recover back to health.

Every brain injury is different and I can only speak from my experience.

They range from mild to severe, and recovery looks different for everyone — some people are back on their feet in weeks, others are still finding their way back years later.

No matter where you sit on that scale, it affects you, and it affects the people around you.

Whatever that looks like for you, Brain Injury New Zealand is there to help — you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Every 15 minutes, a Kiwi suffers a brain injury.

Last year, after a traumatic brain injury of my own, I became one of them.

Through my experience, I learned how challenging, isolating and terrifying living with a brain injury really is.

Even as a doctor, I had no idea what my life would look like after a brain injury.

Nobody should have to go through it alone.

That's why in T-6 months I'll be running it back — the length of Aotearoa, a marathon a day — for Brain Injury New Zealand, our country's national organisation giving a voice to the 'silent injury'.

Through their 14 regional associations, they offer education, support, and advocacy for the thousands of Kiwis affected by brain injury each year.

Honestly, I'm bloody scared to be sharing my story as part of this journey.

I would much rather run up the kms quietly, but my hope is that sharing my experience through a vulnerable time in my life might reach at least one person who was in my position, suffering in silence.

That it might help connect them to the services delivered by the amazing charities I wish I'd known about when I was struggling.

That's why I'm doing it scared — with an incredible team around me to support me on this mammoth of a mission.

One step at a time, come along and run it back — for Brain Injury New Zealand, and for every Kiwi walking with the silent injury.
