Stroke Association

I'm fundraising for...The Stroke Association

I am running the Bournemouth 10k on Sunday 11th October!!!

Two years ago whilst exercising at the gym, I suddenly developed the worst headache of my life. I ended up at the GP who sent me to A&E where i was diagnosed with a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage. Following this I was sent to Queens hospital to have an angiogram which involved putting a camera through a main artery in my leg into my brain. It was discovered during the procedure that I am allergic to the contrast dye used. I suffered three stroke episodes and was put in intensive care for over a week. Thanks to the care of the neuro doctors and the love of my family I am still here to tell the tale. I walked away pretty unscathed with some slight mobility issues in my left foot and nerve tingling in my left arm. It could have been far worse. If I can get through that, then I can get through this 10k.

“ The Stroke Association is 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.”
