A Life Re-written by Brain Injury: Alison's story

Alison Goodrum, 49, had suffered from headaches all her adult life and was shocked when, following a visit to the optician, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour in December 2018.

Since her diagnosis, Alison has found a new path in life and she’s now sharing her story as a part of Headway’s Action for Brain Injury Week, which runs May 20-26 2024.

This year’s campaign A Life Re-Written, explores how brain injury can affect anyone at any time, focussing on how it throws plans into disarray and can even alter people’s sense of identity. The campaign is fronted by BBC The Traitors star Andrew Jenkins, who sustained a brain injury following a car crash. Andrew interviewed Alison for a series of videos as part of the campaign.
