I'm taking part in the Brighton Marathon as part of #TeamStroke and in memory of both mine and Kayleigh’s grandads, but also for support of Kayleigh’s dad
I’m not one to usually get nervous or overwhelmed by much, but this will be my biggest running task I’ve ever taken on.
I’ll be running the Brighton Marathon for my running club Burnham On Sea Harriers, but also raising money for The Stroke association. This run will be in memory of my grandad, and also running for Kayleigh’s Dad who survived having a stroke.
We have ran for The Stroke association before and I would like to do so again to try and raise some money to help combat against this cruel and horrible disease.
I joined #TeamStroke for the Brighton Marathon 2025.
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.
I know times are hard, but if you could be so kind to donate and help this amazing charity please do.
Thankyou Rhys ❤️

Summing up the year
Tuesday 31st Dec First of all it’s been a while since my last blog, and honestly it’s been a very busy end to the year. Thankyou everyone who has sponsored me to help support this amazing charity. It really does mean so much to me and The Stroke Association.
The start of a long journey
Sunday 15th Dec So started my marathon journey with a parkrun on the Saturday and a 10K race on Sunday.
Not usually a blogger or a vlogger
Friday 22nd Nov So this is my initial post, pre marathon training is going well, feeling good and positive about the exercise, but the task ahead is a little daunting. I’ll probably update this weekly for people once the marathon training starts.Thank you to my sponsors
