Brain Injury Awareness Week 2009 in pictures

Brain Injury Awareness Week 2009 (11-17 May 2009) was a huge success. Hundreds of schools and community groups took part in our events for Brain Injury Awareness Week 2009. And there's still a chance to join our Ten Thousand Teenagers (3T) campaign to help prevent more young people receiving brain injuries.

Here's some pictures to give you a taste of some of the events that took place during Brain Injury Awareness Week 2009.
