I'm taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 for The Stroke Association

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.

Last September, my brilliant Uncle John suffered a stroke. Seeing firsthand the challenges he has faced, and the incredible support that is helping him through his recovery, has opened my eyes to just how vital that help is. It's only when someone close to you relies on this support that you understand the difference it makes: not just to the individual, but to everyone around them.

Whilst I am taking this half marathon on as a personal challenge, any donations for this cause will help fund life-changing care, vital research and raise awareness so more people get the help they need when it matters most.

Thank you.

Gift Aid I am a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I have made in the past four years, or I make in the future to the Stroke Association. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax each tax year (6 April to 5 April), than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
