I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026 as part of #TeamStroke

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.

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.

In Memory of My Brother Stephen

Friday 23rd May

When l started running again in 2023 my ultimate goal was to run my first Marathon, this l achieved in Brighton this year fundraising for Multiple Sclerosis Society.

May 2026 l will run Edinburgh Marathon to raise vital funds for the Stroke Association in memory of my brother Stephen.

Stephen had a massive stroke December 2024 and sadly he lost his battle on the 24th January 2025. Stephen faught hard having undergone major surgery for swelling on the brain, he also had various complications and pneumonia. The Stroke was sudden, it was a shock to all the family and his friends. His sudden loss has affected us all.

I am running to raise vital funds for the Stroke Association to help research, raise awareness, support and services. To support those currently suffering this type of disability, the limitations that may impact people's lives and support recovery.
