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

I joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run.

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.

Please help me reach my goal

I Finished It

Monday 9th Sep
I’m delighted to say I finished the event walking with little jogs and my time was just under 3hrs which was my dream time. 
The support throughout the race was second to none. Donations by so many of friends and family friends have been far beyond my dreams so well done to you all 

Only 2weeks now

Thursday 22nd Aug
Almost there. Training still going well - many early morning walks before breakfast. I quite enjoy them once I’m out but as they say hardest part is getting shoes on and getting out the door. 
I’m hoping for good weather on the day - no rain with no strong winds but will just have to just do it no matter what. 
I know I will be nervous on the day until we get started then I will look forward to the experience and receiving the medal at the finish. 
Thank you to those who have generously donated but if anyone else would still like to please go ahead. 
Love to all xxx

Training going as planned

Monday 15th Jul
Pleased with today’s walk - 10.1miles at 14mins 33secs per mile.  7weeks from next Sunday to the day. Just need good weather and no injuries please xxx

Excited to be given chance to take part in 2024 GNR

Saturday 17th Feb
I didn’t get through the ballot for this years event but have been given the chance to participate through The Stroke Association.  I’m happy to raise funds for this cause as I know how devastating strokes can be. My daughter is a stroke physiotherapist, she helps patients through their first few weeks at home after hospital discharge and encourages them through a very difficult period. Quite cruelly her father in law had a severe stroke about 18months ago and now is in a nursing home. 
None of us know what lies ahead of us. 
I try to keep as fit as I can, sadly not through running anymore (apart from a little jog now and again) as I will be 72 in May  so the 1hr 28min half marathons are long gone!! I love walking so my quest is to walk as fast as I can for the 13.1mile event. 

Thank you to my sponsors
