Brain Injury Australia’s charity partner, Sidetember – a “fun initiative running in the month formerly known as September to help raise funds for people living with a brain injury” – has decided to double its support for Return2Sport to $20,000.

Return2Sport, based at Royal Rehab in Sydney, helps people with a brain injury “discover community based sport, recreation and leisure opportunities tailored to their abilities”. The founder and driving force behind Sidetember, Stu Matthewman, said, “We believe so strongly in what Return2Sport does – and can do with more financial support – that we decided to double our donation with income from the first 3 years of Sidetember.”

The donation will go, in part, to help purchase new recumbent bicycles, pictured below with Return2Sport Coordinator, Sebastian van Veenendaal. Also pictured, Sidetember founder and organiser, Stuart Matthewman, presenting the $20,000 donation to Seb.

Sidetember is back in 2017, bigger (going national!) and better (in partnership with Brain Injury Australia, and Royal Rehab).
