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

I joined #TeamStroke for this stunning Bath Half Marathon 2025, taking in some of the Bath's famous landmarks on closed roads. It's an event not to be missed

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.

Gift Aid I am a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I have made in the past four years, or I make in the future to the Stroke Association. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax each tax year (6 April to 5 April), than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

My Story

Thursday 15th Aug

Many people close to me will know that earlier this year I discovered, completely incidentally via an MRI scan of my brain, that I had suffered a minor stroke. This was completely asymptomatic and has caused me no problems in my day to day life (apart from getting my lazy ass off the sofa and start running).

After a few months of tests it was found that I have a small hole in my heart which has been there since birth which was the cause of the stroke. I am currently waiting for a procedure to have this hole closed up and after that I will be good as new!

I am running the Bath half marathon to raise money for the Stroke Association who do amazing work, providing an essential service to those less fortunate than me.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you to my sponsors
