Cardiff Half Marathon 2026

Despite saying never again, I'm taking part in the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

All of us have someone close whose life’s been affected by a stroke.

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.

The Stroke Association rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Thank you for your donation. 😁

At last it's race day. A beautiful sunny day but a bit warm. Amazing spectators with lots of encouragement all the way round.

Massive congrats to everyone taking part today including my husband Kevin, daughter Soph on their amazing runs and her partner George for looking after us all 😉. Thanks to Luke & Nina for their support.

Thanks to all my family and friends who have given so generously, encouraged so kindly and raised such an amazing amount.  Love you all 💕
