I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

In 2022 I lost my dad to a catastrophic brain bleed. Life will never be the same again. Myself and my family are still navigating life without him and I have decided to run the Edinburgh Half Marathon in his memory and also to raise money for Stroke Association . This is the 3rd time I've taken part in this race but this one means the most. If you wish to help me raise some money please feels free to donate .

Thanks so much 

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.
