Ricky and Saffron are cycling 244 miles from London to Paris on the 6th, 7th, and 8th September 2007 to raise funds for the Stroke Association...


Every year, over 130,000 people in the UK have a stroke. That's one person every five minutes. Most people affected are over 65, but anyone can have a stroke, including children and even babies.

A stroke is the third most common cause of death in the UK. It is also the single most common cause of severe disability. More than 250,000 people live with disabilities causes by stroke. 

The Stroke Association's main focus is to prevent stroke and to give support to stroke people and their families through our information and community services. As well as their national helpline and website, they offer:

Family Support Services
Dysphasia Support Services (for people with communication difficulties)
Welfare Grants.

They also campaign to raise awareness of stroke and fund research into stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
