I'm taking part in the Great North Run as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run.

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.

How stroke affected my life

Thursday 7th Mar
I lost my Gran to a stroke and a heart attack a couple of years ago. This deeply affected me and my mentality so much that I lost myself a little with the grief and pain. I didn’t want to deal. Eventually I opened up more talked and let my emotions out and got back into my fitness and got my thoughts and body back to a place where I get strong and capable again. 
I miss her dearly still and always will but I cherish the memories I had with her and I know she would be proud of this challenge I have set for myself and her memory and for anyone else affected by strokes. 

Thank you to my sponsors
