Stride for Stroke

I'm taking part in the Stride for Stroke challenge!

I joined #TeamStroke for Stride for Stroke. I will be taking one step for each of the 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. The 1.3 million steps challenge works out at 10,000 steps a day for 130 days.

Stroke Association is 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 stroke

Thursday 1st Feb
4 months ago I had a big blood clot in my brain which led to me having a stroke. I was only 19 so the hospital didn’t consider I was having a stroke and got left in a corridor. When they realised I got rushed into surgery but they weren’t sure if I would make it. Luckily enough I did but I was on a ventilator for about 2 weeks as I couldn’t breathe for myself and I lost all movement on my right side and the ability to talk. I was in hospital for just over 3 months and now I have learned to walk and talk again. It’s changed my life massively so if you can help please do. X

Thank you to my sponsors
