I'm taking part in the Brighton Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the Brighton Marathon 2025 after my grandmother Rita had a Stroke in 2022. Whilst she made an amazing physical recovery from being almost completely paralysed on one side, she is still affected daily by dysphasia and word finding difficulties.
I am running for the Stroke Association, in the hope that research and funding will minimise the impact of Stroke on other people and their loved ones in the future.
"There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.
We're 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."
