I'm taking part in the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026!

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.

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.

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.

Running because she can't.

Monday 27th Apr

Many years ago my mum had a stroke. I was thousands of miles away. It was terrifying, I didn't know who to turn to, and I contacted the Stroke Association. They were full of good advice and an amazing source of relevant info.

Mum made an amazing recovery, but sadly a couple of years after that, she passed away due to other health complications related to her heart condition (which had caused the stroke initially).

I am not a runner, but every year I watch those amazing people run the Cardiff Half and I always said that if I ever ran, I would run for the Stroke Association....so that someone like me or mum can have access to the support and advice they need for them and their family in a moment of distress and need...like I did. So many years ago.

My profile photo is that of mum and I on my wedding day. Suffice to say, I can't quite fit into that outfit anymore , BUT

I am healthy

I am alive

I have air in my lungs

I have mum in my heart and

I will run for her and for all of the other people affected by stroke who need the support of the Stroke Association.

Thank you to my sponsors
