Virtual fundraising: Facebook Challenge

Headway's first-ever Virtual walking Challenge!

February 2025 saw our very first virtual challenge of walking 90km in the month. Over 800 people registered for the challenge, with 50% of these actively fundraising!

Total raised

Our virtual challenge has raised over £70,000! Together, our fundraisers have walked over 21,000km! 

Supporting our essential services

The money raised from this challenge will support Headway’s essential services, including:

The Headway website

Providing information and resources for those affected by brain injury

The Headway Emergency Fund

Offering financial support to families in the immediate aftermath of a brain injury, helping them visit loved ones in hospitals often far from home

Headway’s free and confidential helpline

Supporting over 10,000 callers each year with guidance, reassurance, and advice during some of their most challenging times

Thank you

With every step taken, and every kilometre covered, you’ve enabled us to continue walking alongside brain injury survivors and their loved ones when they need us.

“A huge thank you to everyone who took on the 90km in February walking challenge for Headway – the brain injury association. Your fundraising efforts mean the world to us and enable us to continue our work to support individuals and families affected by brain injury.”
