I’m proud to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon as part of #TeamStroke, raising funds to support everyone affected by stroke.

This cause means a great deal to me for many reasons. My grandmother suffered a stroke, and I saw firsthand how it impacted not only her life, but our entire family. During that difficult time, the Stroke Association was there for us every step of the way, providing vital support when we needed it most.

I’m also inspired by my mum, who volunteers with the charity. She dedicates her time to supporting people affected by stroke, and I see just how much that help means to those who receive it. Volunteers like her are at the heart of the Stroke Association — without them, this incredible work simply wouldn’t be possible.

Running this race is my way of giving back, raising awareness, and helping to fund the life-changing support this charity provides.

If you’re able to donate, I would be hugely grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

Thank you so much for your support.
