At 72, a skiing collision left me with brain bleeds, trauma and a broken vertebra in my neck. A year later, I still wasn’t myself.

CogMission’s Brain Health Programme gave me real insight into how to improve my brain health. Their full panel of blood tests found abnormalities my NHS checks had missed. With that information, I went back to my GP and got the NHS attention I needed.

I’m not fully back to where I was before the accident, but I’m skiing again and living a far more normal life than in that first year. Thank you, Jean and Charmaine.
