I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026 as part of #TeamStroke
I have chosen this charity as my amazing auntie Pauline suffered from a stroke very suddenly and unexpectedly, aged 50. She has continued to overcome each and every challenge this has brought her, as has my entire family (all in different ways). Each showing up for each other in different ways and so I would like to do my part. Having seen the effects that someone having a stroke cannot only have on them, but those around them.
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.
