This Action for Brain Injury Week, we’re shining a light on a reality many survivors face: the unpredictable nature of brain injury. #OnAGoodDay, life might feel manageable and joyful. But when symptoms like fatigue strike, it can flip everything upside down. That’s where we step in: with practical tools, community and expert care to help survivors adapt and thrive.
Leigh suffered a brain injury in a bike accident. Between the accident, regaining his confidence and getting back to work as an Interaction Designer, you can read his full story here.
Imagine a life where at any minute you can be hit with severe fatigue and cognitive issues. So we are asking people to see both sides, so be patient, flexible and be there when they need you – on the good days, and the bad.

How to make a difference:
Be patient, be kind
- Brain injury is invisible. A smile might hide exhaustion, headaches, or confusion. Small acts of flexibility and understanding can mean the world.
Amplify understanding
- Share this message to help others see both sides of brain injury—because empathy starts with education.
Support progress
- Support loved ones with volunteering, fundraising or donating to fund life-changing resources.
Not only in the Action for Brain Injury week, but throughout the entire year, we work to enable more good days and provide vital support to help survivors manage the bad ones!
