I'm taking part in the Great North Run as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run.
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.

Why I’m running for The Stroke Association ..
Thursday 30th May Firstly, I’m running the Great North Run because of a fear of missing out. Two of my best friends and my girlfriend decided to run it and I felt like there would never be a better time to feel the pressure of doing it. Secondly, once I had made the commitment to run, I needed to choose a cause. I chose The Stroke Association because back in April 2022 my Grandma suffered a stroke after surgery and never recovered. Sadly she passed away 1 month later. So I guess this is for her and also for the extra motivation to cross that finishing line. ShareThank you to my sponsors
