TCS London Marathon 2025

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.

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.

Madness personified

Saturday 30th Nov
Well I’ve waited a bit to post plans for latest challenge as I tried work out if I was totally nuts,turns out I am so, from the 14th December through to the 21st I plan to walk 100km, the distance is poignant as it’s roughly the distance from St Bernard’s Hospital to Xanit (Benalmadena) two places that kept me alive 10years ago when I suffered my first stroke. 
I’m starting off on Saturday (14th) with here to there and back again (Victoria Stadium to Europa Point) at 10:30 in the morning and a round the Rock on the Sunday. Other walking routes will be decided closer the time. 
If people would like to join me they’re more than welcome. You don’t have to walk every day or the whole distance, just come along and join me when you can. 
Not asking for your cash, but if you want to donate to my next London Marathon attempt next April (all in aid of The Stroke Association) 
Keep the faith
