I'm taking part in the Stride for Stroke challenge! Please donate what you can or please share.

2 years ago today I had a stroke and I was so scared I wouldn’t be here to raise my 2 beautiful daughters . But I did survive and I did not know I would be able to walk again. But I can it was hard work but i had some great people around me to help in many different ways and I am so grateful to have these people in my life. So  I will be taking one step for each of the 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. The 1.3 million steps challenge works out at 10,000 steps a day for 130 days.  Now if you know me I would be lucky to do 1500 steps a day so this is going to be hard challenge so please spare what donations you can. As Tesco says every little helps. Or please share this post thank you.
