I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2026, I am running for the Stoke Association as my Dad suffered from a Stroke last year.
I started my Marathon journey last year (images seen below) and I am hoping to raise a significant amount for the Stroke Association.
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.
The charity helps to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke and make sure people affected by a stroke get the very best care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
All donations are massively appreciated and look forward to seeing as many people as possible on the route.
