Matina Rooney (née Loizou)

Manchester Marathon 2026

Running the Manchester Marathon 2026 in memory of Dad

In April 2025 my dad passed away suddenly from a stroke. It was completely out of the blue and has left a huge hole in our lives. I'm fundraising for Stroke Association UK to honour his memory and support their vital work in stroke research, prevention, and recovery.

To mark this journey, I’m training for the Manchester Marathon, every mile I run is for him. Your support means the world and will help others affected by stroke get the care and hope they need. Thank you for being part of this with me.
