Hi,

 First of all thanks if you've made it this far. My name is Glenn and yes, that's me in the picture. In October 2017 I was involved in an accident on the way to work, I was cycling to work and was hit by car at a roundabout just about 30 yards from my workplace, the driver failed to stop and drove through the junction while I was still on it!  I cant really remember too much about it but woke up face down on the cold wet tarmac road.  I was then taken to hospital by ambulance and got checked over, I don't have any real memory of hospital but surprisingly I was allowed to go home the same day.  I had back pain and a sore head and believed I was lucky to escape any serious injury. Little did I know what was ahead of me.

That evening my parents and sister called to my house to see how I was,  it turns out that this visit was the last thing I actually remember about it all.  In the coming weeks my wife and mum had drove me to the doctors and hospital on multiple occasions because I wasn't functioning properly. To cut a long story short I had two bulging discs in my lower spine and was later diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome, [something I had never even heard of ] and told it would last a week or two. None of the doctors even seemed to know anything about it and no one could help me understand what was happening to me or why.  I spent most of the next few months in a dark room.  My symptoms still affect me and my family everyday of our lives, and has impacted all our lives massively more than anyone will ever know. 

Mindfulness practice was one of the tools that I have learnt, it completely changed my life and pulled me out of some very dark places.

I now feel like I want to be able to help other people going through similar experiences as I did.  Through this website and my presence on social media I hope to raise awareness about Post Concussion Syndrome [PCS], Traumatic Brain Injuries [TBI], Acute Brain Injury [ABI] , Mental Health and all other hidden disabilities!

I hope to build a community and a platform were people can feel safe to communicate with each other and get access to information, that I found wasn't available to me when I needed it most.

Be your own expert, share your story, only you know how it feels.

I  truly believe raising awareness is the key to the demise of a lot of the stigma that unfortunately is an everyday problem for all people with hidden disabilities.
