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.

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.
