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

I joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run.

recently one of my closest friends grandma sadly passed away over Christmas due to a stroke. we really wanted to do a half marathon and challenge our selves and we enjoy raising for charities as we usually do the race for life, but we thought it would be sentimental to pick the stroke association to raise as much as we can 

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.
