This week is Action for Brain Injury week, by Headway - the brain injury association. Eleven years on from the football tackle which changed my life, I continue to share my story out of a desire to help others.

A brain injury can be terrifying and frustrating and invisible all at the same time.

The Headway helpline was the first time I spoke with someone who had in-depth knowledge of brain injury

After sustaining a bleed on the brain following a clash in a game of football, Pauline O’Connor started to experience dizziness, fatigue and headaches. These symptoms affected her life dramatically but also led to the discovery of a newfound talent and love for writing.
