I'm taking part in the Great North Run 2025 as part of #TeamStroke

Recently this has become a very important charity to me and my family due to my dad suffering from his third stroke just after Christmas. We realised what an amazing charity this is and how much they do for not only the person suffering from the stroke but also their family’s. I’ve decided I’d like to support this charity by running the Great North run to raise as much as I can. 

#TeamStroke for the Great North Run 2025. 

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.

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.
