Swim for Stroke

I'm taking part in the Swim for Stroke challenge!

I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke. In a bid to raise money for an amazing cause and to get myself in better shape at the same time, I will be swimming the equivalent distance of crossing the channel throughout September. That’s 20.5 miles, 33km and 1,650 lengths of the 20m pool at my gym. Fitting this into the daily life of full time work and parenting will possibly be an equally as big achievement! Any support is greatly appreciated for this brilliant cause. Thanks, Laura 

Stroke Association is 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.
