I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.
In March 2024, we unexpectedly and suddenly lost my beloved Grandpa Fred to a stroke. He was an incredible character and adored by many the world over.
So, a year on, I will be undertaking my toughest challenge yet and I will be fundraising so that others do not have to experience the same heartbreak.
I would like to thank you for visiting my fundraising page and for any donations - I am really grateful. I would also like to say a huge thank you to my employer Specialist Data Solutions for their generosity in matching the first £1000 raised for this fantastic cause.
