Vote for Will to be crowned blogger of the year!

Wed 20 Sep 2017

After suffering a major bleed on the brain in 2013, Will Perringwood was left with severe memory problems. He started his blog, From Reporter to Supporter, to document his progress and help improve his memory.

Now he has been shortlisted for a HealthUnlocked Health Blogger of the Year Award.

 

As well as blogging about his own recovery, Will set up Life After Brain Injury, a series of podcasts that started as part of Headway's A New Me campaign.

Will and his wife Amy toured Headway groups and branches interviewing other brain injury survivors and their family members about how their condition affects them, and the meaning of the phrase 'a new me'.

The interviews proved so popular that the couple were invited to discuss them on BBC Radio Four's You and Yours programme.

Will and Amy also attended Headway's summer conference, The Way Ahead, where even more brain injury survivors from across the country wanted to share their story.

Health blogger of the year

Will's blog is more than deserving of being shortlisted for the HealthUnlocked Health Blogger of the Year Award, but the overall winner of the award is decided by public vote.

The Health Blogger of the Year category commends the one blogger who stands out from the crowd offering useful information and insight into health generally, or a particular disease or condition.

Voting closes on Friday 29 September 2017.

Be sure to check out Will's latest blog post, where he talks about the new addition to the Perringwood family, baby Reggie.
