Jolly Jo is taking part in the September Vitality 10k as part of #TeamStroke
As many of you know I suffered a stroke in September 2023. A year on it is still difficult to ‘process’ after all, naively, I never would have considered myself to be at risk. How wrong was I ! Last year I was actually due to run this but due to my stroke this was the last thing I could do.
I was so very lucky receiving the treatment ensuring full recovery but shocked to know some of this is due to ‘postcode lottery’.
Feeling so overwhelmed with the care received both in hospital and post stroke through numerous stroke support via stroke association I have joined #TeamStroke for the Vitality London 10,000 2024 on Sunday 22nd September.
I have just completed my training to volunteer to support this amazing association in various ways but starting with …no big surprises…a run!
Did you know, 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 and believe me it CAN happen to anyone.
I appreciate there are so many deserving charities to support but if you are able to donate anything to my fundraising page I would be delighted.
Thank you
