A brain injury survivor who defied the odds of survival has been shortlisted for a national award for his extraordinary achievements.
Mark Kennedy, who has run more than 100 half marathons, delivered inspirational speeches across the UK, set up two businesses and co-authored four books, will be recognised at an annual awards luncheon as one of just three finalists in the running for the title of Alex Richardson Achiever of the Year.
The award, which is sponsored by Slater & Gordon, will be presented at the ceremony organised by Headway – the brain injury association on 9 December at The Landmark London.
