I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.
On April 27th I will be running my first ever Marathon. After applying though the ballot I was amazed to find out that I actually got in ! Whilst there is no pressure to raise thousands, it would be a shame to miss an opportunity to raise money for the Stroke Association, a charity very close to me and my family .
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.
