Running for Dave #TeamStroke

I've joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run 2026. I'm running for a great friend Dave Smith. Dave was a much loved Son to John and Nita, Husband to Sue, Father to Luke, Ben and Lucy and grandad, and loved by everyone he met. I know times are hard so I appreciate any donation you can afford. Every little helps to support survivors of a Stroke. Sadly Dave didn't get this chance. Please support #Running for Dave as I join 60'000 others take on the Great North Run. #Runningfordave

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.

No survivor should have to face life after stroke without stroke support, providing consistent, tailored help on the long journey to recovery. 

We work with the stroke community to ensure 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.

Please help me reach my goal
