TCS London Marathon 2025

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2025.

This is hugely personal to me as I suffered a serious stroke in June 2023 but with the amazing support of those at the Cumberland Infirmary in getting me back on my feet very quickly, as well as the invaluable resource of the Stroke Association, I have been luckier than most to make such a full recovery. I've met many people who haven't been quite as lucky as me and I really want to be able to give something back. For me, this is the biggest physical challenge I have ever set myself.

Please read on to see a wee bit more about what the Stroke Association offers

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.


We would all be so appreciative of your support


Many thanks


Richard
