Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026

I'm taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026.

There are over 1.4 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.

Why I’m running

Thursday 12th Feb
Sometimes in life you get given a second chance - when I was 19 I suffered 7 acute strokes left unable to walk and talk and it changed everything.

I always wanted to give back and last year I went to support the runners who ran for #teamstroke and I felt compelled to take part the following year.

So here I am - the boy who thought it wasn’t possible trying to show anyone in my precious situation that anything is possible 

Thank you to my sponsors

I know a few people who've suffered from strokes. Some recovered remarkably, others haven't been as fortunate. Glad yours has been a success story and a way to give back. Go Ryan!
