“We’re helping to provide the equipment and services needed by brain injury survivors and their carers so they can concentrate on their recovery after discharge and once again live with dignity, self-worth and return to being a valued member of society and their families.”
WINNER OF THE STEPHEN McALEESE AWARD FOR INSPIRATION 2025
UKABIF Time for Change Summit
Zara was recognised by UKABIF for her fundraising and efforts in raising awareness for brain injuries.
The panel of judges were overwhelmed by Zara and how she has dedicated herself and coordinated fundraising efforts for the charity ever since her ABI. They mentioned the wide range of community events, promoting brain injury recovery awareness and raising funds to help others in their own recoveries.
Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is slow down.
Stepping back from the intensity of a big fundraising challenge isn't a setback — it's a redirect. It's choosing to look honestly at where recovery needs more attention, and having the courage to do something about it.
That's exactly what Zara did.
With the support of an incredible PT — someone who brings not just experience in physiotherapy and injury rehabilitation, but genuine passion and talent to every session — the focus shifted to the foundations: balance, coordination, and functional movement. The kind of work that doesn't always make the highlight reel, but makes everything else possible.
From resistance band work to kettlebell holds, lateral movement to single-leg stability, each session was purposeful and progressive — building strength in the spaces that needed it most. And after the hard work? A fun challenge to finish on a high. Because recovery should feel rewarding, not just rigorous.
This is what active recovery really looks like. Not always the loudest chapter — but often the most important one. 💪
