TCS London Marathon 2025

I'm fundraising for our friend Ian, who was taken too soon.

We've been so lucky to have had the Atkinsons in our lives for some 20 years. One of those one in a million chances of having neighbours who became life long friends. So much fun had over the years with the 'Grangers' gang... we were all devastated when Ian suffered a catastrophic brain bleed and died on 11th January 2025. He was just 56, leaving dear Alison and their sons, Matt and Josh, as well as his parents, brother and sister. I'm running London Marathon on 27th April in Ian's memory, for the Stroke Association. Please give what you can.

The Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. They believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so they work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. They rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
