I'm taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
Hi all,
I’ve joined #TeamStroke and in less than a month (13th Oct), I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the Stroke Association.
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.
My dear Dad suffered a stroke almost 5 years ago and now has a number of disabilities including severe aphasia which affects his ability to communicate. The Stroke Association team have supported Dad, and my mum who cares for him, through speech therapy and chat groups, fortnightly community groups, and support in hospital when Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year. Mum says that the Association and the group meetings ‘make you realise that you are not alone on this journey through what is a very changed life and future’.
The Stroke Association support people to rebuild their lives after stroke and they rely on support and donations to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care, and to fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
I’d be really grateful if you could sponsor me (no matter how small an amount) to support this important cause and to spur me on over the miles!! Thanks so much,
Love Lou x
