Raising money for

Connect - the communication disability network

Charity Registration No. 1081740

Connect is a national charity for people living with aphasia (communication disability) which is often caused by stroke. Aphasia can strike anyone at any age and at any time. 1 in every 200 people in the UK lives with aphasia and each person experiences it differently. Some people cannot speak at all, some people have just a few words. It affects reading, writing and numbers. Aphasia can lead to lack of confidence, depression, social exclusion – and people can lose their connection with the world. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our vision is a simple one, we want a world where people with aphasia can re-connect with life again. Find out more about how we do that at www.ukconnect.org

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Eliza and I will do our best to run the WHOOOOOLE 5K...easier for some than others given the relative (ha-ha) leg length! Please make it worth our while. We are supporting 'Connect'. Connect is a fab charity that quite simply makes the lives of people who live with aphasia better.

Aphasia is an invisible disability that affects communication (usually following a stroke). People with aphasia may find it hard to speak, read, write, understand language and use numbers. Connect is a small charity making a big difference to how people with aphasia live - helping them reconnect with their lives again.

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you so much!! Kate & Eliza
