Sally Gowland is raising money for Connect - the communication disability network
“Sally Gowland's fundraising”

on 23 August 2009

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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

Story

Hi there,

I am running/jogging(!) the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 11th. I am raising money for Connect, a national charity which works to promote effective services, new opportunities and a better quality of life for people living with aphasia. Aphasia is an illness which affects people's speech and communication following a brain injury such as a stroke or a brain haemorrage.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Loveage!
