We are taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026 as part of #TeamStroke
We joined #TeamStroke in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026.
One of our runners, Richard, suffered a severe stroke in 2023 and has been lucky to make such a full recovery. Stroke Association has been a huge help not only to Richard but to so may others as they support the recovery of those unlucky enough to suffer a stroke
There are over 1.4 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.
We're here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
Leona, Jac, Richard and Rory would be so grateful for any support you can offer.
Many thanks.
