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.

My reason for running 💜

Tuesday 6th Jan
As some of you may know, in November my mum became very unwell at home and suffered a massive stroke which caused her to lose the ability to move her left side. She has been in hospital since and is currently in rehab having intensive physio, speech therapy and learning to walk again.
I’m sure most will agree with me when I say mum has always been incredibly strong, independent and always the rock of the family so having all this taken away from her has been really challenging for us all. 
In hospital the stroke team, the physios and the occupational health have all been absolutely amazing in helping mum to improve. We literally couldn’t have asked for better care and professionalism. 

So I’m taking on my next challenge on running Edinburgh Half to raise money for this amazing charity so they can continue to help others that are going to through the same thing. If you could support in anyway I would really appreciate it xx

Thank you to my sponsors
