<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.<strong></strong></p> <p>Every 5 minutes someone in the UK suffers a stroke and there are an estimated 150,000 new cases per year.</p> <p>I had a stroke in July last year 3 weeks after my son, Elis was born. I couldn't talk or read and looked pretty awful. I came close to not making it at all. If it hadn't have been for my lovely husband Paul calling an ambulance when he did, I wouldn't be here now! After I was discharged from hospital, I received a huge amount of support from the stroke association. Paul and I have decided that running the Cardiff Half Marathon will be a chance for us to give something back! So please sponsor us, and support a fantastic charity.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
