I'm taking part in the Great Manchester Run 2025 as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the Great Manchester Run 2025.
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.
We're 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.

Running for Roger: My Manchester Half Marathon Journey
Saturday 11th JanThis year, I’m taking on the Manchester Half Marathon to support the Stroke Association, a cause that has become deeply personal to me and my family.
In November, my father-in-law Roger suffered a stroke. It was a life-changing moment for him and for all of us who love and care for him. Since then, Roger has been on an incredible journey of recovery, and we’ve been privileged to have him at home with us as he works to regain his strength and independence.
Through this experience, I’ve witnessed the devastating impact a stroke can have—not just on the individual but on their entire support network. But I’ve also seen the power of hope, resilience, and the critical role organizations like the Stroke Association play in offering guidance, resources, and support to those affected.
By running the Manchester Half Marathon, I hope to raise both awareness and funds for the Stroke Association so they can continue their vital work. Every step I take will be for Roger, for all stroke survivors, and for the families who walk alongside them on the path to recovery.
If you’d like to support me, please consider donating to my fundraising page. Together, we can make a difference for those impacted by strokes and help give them a brighter future.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
