Hydro Active Women's Challenge 2006 · 3 September 2006 ·

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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On the 3rd Sept I will be part of a 26 strong team, taking part in a 5km race in Hyde Park.  It is an all women event.  It will be the second time I have run in this event and this year I hope to raise £500.

I am running for Connect - the communication disability network.  Connect is a small national charity whose vision is a world where people living with aphasia find opportunity and fulfilment.  Aphasia is a communication disability that usually arises from stroke but which can also be caused by brain injury and tumour.  People with aphasia may find it difficult to speak, write, understand language and use numbers.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
