Stride for Stroke

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

I joined #TeamStroke for Stride for Stroke. I will be taking one step for each of the 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. The 1.3 million steps challenge works out at 10,000 steps a day for 130 days.

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.

why am I here?

Thursday 11th Jan
At the time of your birth and as you begin to grow and develop, it is always hoped that this will be a wonderful time. However for my parents this wasn't the case. After spotting some abnormalities with  physical movements, it was discovered that I had Cerebral Palsy - stemming from a stroke during my birth. At 34 i live with Cerebral Palsy day to day. Throughout my life I have continued to smash through mile stones. As a young child I was told i wouldn't walk, after proving those doctors wrong I was walking in no time, now in 2024 I will tackle this challenge, and who knows - I might drop a few pounds too.
