About my charity : Connect - the Communication Disability Network Connect - the Communication Disability Network
Connect is a national charity. Our vision is a world where people with aphasia and communication disability find opportunity and fulfilment. We work with people with aphasia to promote effective services, new opportunities and a better quality of life for people living with aphasia. Aphasia is a communication disability which is usually caused by stroke but it can also arise from head injury and tumour. People with aphasia find it hard to speak, write, understand language and use numbers. One in every 200 people in the UK has aphasia. To find out more please visit our website: www.ukconnect.org

My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This will be first attempt at the London Marathon (and probably my last!) and I hope to run under 4hours. So far training has gone well, although I am fast discovering the benefits of Vaseline!!

I am aiming for an ambitious £2500 in 3 months, but with a small amount from all of you it can be achieved, so please be generous!

Connect is a great charity caring for a group of people who really can benefit from our help. Many of you will be in the medical profession and know about aphasia and how dibilitating it can be. What aphasia sufferers need is time and dedicated help which most of us cannot provide. By sponsoring me however, you help to provide them with lasting support from people who can help them.

There are currently over approximately 250,000 people living with aphasia in the UK alone.

£500 could pay for a person with aphasia to attend counseling sessions.

£1000 could help pay for AV equipment to help run our groups for people with aphasia and our training courses .

£1500 could pay for up to 5 people with aphasia to attend two information days at our London Centre. Our ‘Connect for a Day’ events give people with aphasia the opportunity to meet other people in the same situation and information on new opportunities like volunteering.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Connect - the Communication Disability Network will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
