I'm taking part in the Great North Run 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

Next year, I am running the Great North Run in memory of my Grandma who sadly passed away this year after suffering multiple strokes. Stroke's impact people of all ages and every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. Stroke Association are a great charity who fund vital research, provide support to survivors of strokes and also campaign for better awareness of strokes.


As well as fundraising on behalf of Stroke Association, I'd also like to raise awareness of the effects of strokes throughout the next year in the lead up to the Great North Run and encourage people to learn about how they can reduce their risk of stroke, exercise being one of them!


After taking on the London Marathon this year in memory of my Grandad, I am aiming to challenge myself again by reducing my current half marathon time by 15-20 minutes in time for the Great North Run next year! This will be a real challenge for me with lots of training so l would appreciate any donations in support of this great charity!
