Myself and a large group have decided to trade our bank holiday frivolity for a cycle to Paris in memory of all those who have suffered a stroke. Saddleforstroke was set up by the Traffords whose mother, Tina Trafford aged just 53 suffered a stroke despite being incredibly fit and healthy. We therefore want to raise awareness of strokes and the impact they can have on the people around us and how they can affect anyone no matter what age you are.

Any donation is hugely appreciated, we have set ourselves a target of £53,000 - myself having a personal target of £1000...and this will be a massive motivation for me and friends to get out on the bike. If anything, we hope to provide amusement to you all as we attempt this - we promise lots of pictures! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks so much!
