I'm running Berlin Marathon 2025 as part of #TeamStroke in memory of my mom
In memory of my beloved mom, Frances Camargo (aka Pancha, Kika, Momma), who we tragically lost in 2016 due to a bilateral watershed stroke caused by a medical error, I have joined #TeamStroke to run the Berlin Marathon in 2025. The photo below is from one of our last days together.
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide. The Stroke Association, a UK-based non-profit, is dedicated to helping survivors rebuild their lives, benefiting people both in the UK and internationally. Stroke Association relies heavily on donations to provide vital services to survivors, advocate for better stroke care, and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
As I train for and run this marathon on September 21, I will carry my mom's memory in my heart, drawing strength from her spirit every step of the way. Would you to consider contributing to #TeamStroke in Kika's honor? Your support will help continue the incredible work of the Stroke Association and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by stroke.
Thank you for helping me honor my mom and support this vital cause.
