TCS London Marathon 2024

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

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2024!!!

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.

Stroke is something that is very close to my heart as my mum is a stroke survivor. After having her stroke back in 2007 at the age of 60, we were told that on a scale of 1-10, her stroke was a 9! Luckily for us she pulled through and although she finds life a challenge at times, she is determined and we are blessed to still have her.

Last year, our friend and neighbour, Michael, also suffered a huge stroke. It was a very traumatic and sad time for his family and after battling for a year, he sadly passed away on the 11th March this year. A year to the day that he was admitted to hospital. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him...

Stroke Association support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. They believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so they work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. They rely on our support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

London Marathon Done

Wednesday 24th Apr
Massive thank you to everyone who has supported my 2024 London Marathon for Stroke Association, through my training and on the day! Your messages, your company on my training runs, your donations to a very special cause and your motivation on the day 💜
Its been a journey, both a physical and an emotional one as Micheal sadly passed away half way through my training 😔
It was a very chilly start but I soon warmed up. My notorious little toe blister decided to make itself known early, at 10k 🤨 spent the next few miles debating how important little toes actually are and could I manage without it 🤔😆
Got to 20 miles with a fairly consistent pace then my energy levels dipped and I had to have periods of walking... But I got to the finish in 4 hrs 48 mins 27 secs!! 35 minutes quicker than my best time! 🎉
I have also exceeded my fundraising target this morning!! 🎊 This is appreciated so much! Thank you all 😘😘 you're amazing!! There is still time to donate to the Stroke Association  if you would like to!
