I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.

I am running in memory of my eldest brother, who had a stroke on 22 May 2024 and passed away a few days later, having never regained consciousness.

He was only 57, fit and healthy. A lifelong rugby man, he had participated in a golden oldies match the weekend before his stroke.

His stroke was a complete surprise to all the family. I will run the marathon as a mark of respect for my brother and to help all those affected by strokes.

There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.

Help me hit my fundraising target and make the lives of a few stroke survivors a little easier.

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.
