Andrew
Harding and Chris Agius raised over £700 last Friday as they
took part in Headway’s ‘Wheely Big Relay’ cycle ride in Richmond
Park, London.
The event was organised
by national brain injury charity Headway and took place during
Brain Injury Awareness week.
The Partners completed 45
miles in just under 5 hours. On crossing the finishing line, they
said the atmosphere throughout the day was “fantastic” adding “the
sense of support amongst the cyclists taking part was incredible
and provided huge encouragement throughout the ride.
Riding through London’s Richmond Park was
hugely enjoyable and to be able to raise money for such a great
charity made it all worthwhile.”
Andrew, partner at Cardiff law firm Hugh
James, is head of the firm’s multidisciplinary Neurolaw team,
Chairman of Headway Cardiff and member of the Board of Headway UK.
He works with brain injury survivors, their carers and families
providing support and assistance on a daily basis.
He commented, “Hugh James are keen supporters
of Headway. The day centre in Cardiff gives help and support to
those who have sustained a brain injury. There is a huge demand for
the services they provide. Chris and I are delighted that we have
supported such a worthy cause.”
Whilst Andrew was taking part in the Wheely
Big Relay in London, the rest of Hugh James Neurolaw team, based in
Cardiff, were busy doing their bit for Headway. They raised almost
£100 by wearing silly hats in the office throughout the
day.
Andrews proactive approach to supporting brain
injury survivors, their professional carers and families continues
on Thursday 21 May, when Hugh James hosts the annual Brain Injury
Conference at The Village Hotel, Cardiff. To book a delegate place,
