Hello friends
I am not a marathon runner!!! You know that. But I want to take part in the Melbourne Marathon festival this year so I'm choosing the EASY option. I'm going to make a huge effort and walk 3 kilometres on Sunday 15th October. I know it's not much - but I'm doing it for a reason. Over the past few years I have spent a good part of my working week encouraging people to donate to or raise funds for the James Macready-Bryan (JMB) Foundation.
Some of you might already know the JMB story and some of you have already supported JMB in the past. Thank you. Now I'm putting my money (or your money I hope) where my mouth is and I'm actually fundraising myself for James and JMB in this year's event.
So I'm asking for your support.
Even a small amount of money will add up and make a surprisingly big difference for James and many other young Australians living with acquired brain injury. And I'm hoping to prove that even a small walk of 3 kilometres can make a big difference too.
I haven't fundraised since I was in primary school and entered a swimathon, for a cause I can't recall. I'm sure it was a good one - and so is this. If you met James and his family you'd understand. I really hope you can find a few minutes and few bucks to send in this direction.

JMB Foundation - The James Macready-Bryan Foundation
The JMB Foundation was established in 2007 to provide support for the rehabilitation of James Macready-Bryan after he incurred life-changing injuries to his brain as a result of a serious assault in October 2006, when he was just 20 years old. James fell, unconscious, hitting his head on the pavement. Unfortunately, when he fell, he also fell through a gap in our social support system, which provides very limited funding for the care and rehabilitation of young acquired brain injury patients.
The Foundation has two main aims: to provide financial support for care and rehabilitation, not only for James, but also for other young sufferers of an acquired brain injury (ABI); and to give a public voice to those young people – who all too often literally cannot speak for themselves – and to their families and carers.
Our fundraising allows us to provide vital financial support for additional services in care facilities, for the provision of better and more appropriate home care, for participation in community activities that are otherwise out of financial reach for many, and for equipment and home modifications that may mean the difference between a young ABI sufferer living in a care facility and being able to live at home. Funds that we provide make a genuine difference to the care, comfort and quality of life for these young men and women.
