I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.
I am running the race in memory of my dad who sadly passed away following a stroke early in 2024.
Importantly I also wanted to help support the Stroke association and raise awareness of the impacts of strokes of those who are lost, but also on those that survive, family members and all the hospital and car staff that work with stroke victims.
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.
