It's Major Trauma Awareness Week and we're delighted to share our ‘Dear me’ campaign.
Dear me is a powerful and enlightening glimpse into what it’s like coping with life-changing injury, and an inspiring insight into rebuilding life after major trauma.

“I read about what Day One do to help people who have had really traumatic changes in their lives and I was inspired to take part.”
This lovely feedback is from Louise, who took part in 100k in June on her horses Dinky and Luna, raising a fantastic £225 for Day One!
A wonderful opportunity to come and join the team and help us reach more people who need our support!

From events, to snapping people on his mobile phone.
