He passed out in a bathroom while on holiday and banged his head
A Northampton man who hit his head on holiday a decade ago and suffered a fractured skull has won a national award. In August 2012, Mark Kennedy, 48, and his wife of 16 years, Jules, were on holiday when he passed out in the bathroom.
The national awards programme, run by UK-wide charity Headway, celebrates the outstanding achievements and contributions of people with brain injuries and those working to support them. “Looking back at all I have achieved since my brain injury, it sometimes feels surreal. Without my brain injury I wouldn’t have been as determined in life. It has given me a sense of purpose and drive.”
They are the creators of the motivational speaking company Future Toolbox, where they use their own experiences to inspire and empower community groups, brain injury survivors and young people.
