I'm running for #TeamStroke in the TCS London Marathon

In October 2024, my Dad suffered an unexpected and life-changing stroke. He was airlifted to hospital and underwent emergency surgery to remove a large clot from his brain - which was rare for someone just 48 years old, and a non-smoker. We were told he might never regain the abilities and mobility he once had. So that was a huge shock for all of us.

He faced months of further mini-strokes, intensive rehab, and hospital transfers but never gave up. He had to relearn how to speak, how to eat, and how to walk again.

That’s why my brother, Joel, and I are running the London Marathon together - to honour Dad’s journey and raise money and awareness for the Stroke Association.

Every donation will help fund life-saving research, vital rehabilitation, and support for stroke survivors and their families.

Thank you for your support. 💜

Gift Aid I am a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I have made in the past four years, or I make in the future to the Stroke Association. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax each tax year (6 April to 5 April), than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
