Why Fundraising for SameYou was Magical for Tobias

A brain injury survivor who had to learn to walk, eat and talk again after suffering a devastating aneurysm has spoken of the “moving” moment he crossed the finish line after taking part in SameYou’s Cycle Ibiza challenge.
Tobias Hassels, 43, suffered complications after the brain injury in 2011, but signed up to the 120km endurance event on the island in April to raise money for SameYou, saying he was drawn to the charity’s focus on recovery after brain injury.
The chef and musician, who is a vocalist and plays the clarinet, keyboard and drums, said he thought the challenge would be a good chance to reconnect with his injury and he would be able to tell his story publicly for the first time as he fundraised for the event.
