Cardiff Half Marathon 2026

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

I joined #TeamStroke for the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026 as having trained to become a Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist to help, train and improve a stroke survivors condition once they leave hospital, as I have with my friend (a year now) who had a stroke the day after his 60th birthday. 

This is part of my motivation to raise money and more awareness of how a stroke can affect the person and their family.

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.

Thank you for reading and for donating.
