Marc Lloyd Williams

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I suffered a stroke at the age of 43, therefore 2026 will be the 10th year anniversary of this occurring totally out of the blue. This totally shocked me, my family and friends. As an ex professional footballer I didn't think it would happen to someone who had kept fit and healthy for so many years, but it did and I have known a few other athletes to have suffered the same illness at a similar age following the conclusion of their professional sporting careers.

There are over 1.4 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes, unfortunately 9 years ago

The Stoke Association was there to support me to rebuild my life after the stroke. I believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after a stroke, so the association works with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. They rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Gift Aid I am a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I have made in the past four years, or I make in the future to the Stroke Association. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax each tax year (6 April to 5 April), than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
