Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After experiencing strokes within my family on a number of occasions with different outcomes I'm looking to help in raising money and awareness for the stroke association by participating in an event/challenge each month for 12 months. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Most importantly, you will be helping survivors all across the country. It is only with your help we can change the world for people affected by stroke. More than 150,000 strokes occur every year in the UK. Stroke is one of the greatest health challenges but doesn’t get the attention or funding it deserves. Your support helps fund research, campaign for better stroke prevention and care, and support stroke survivors to make a difference.



The difference you can make



Your fundraising helps the Stroke Association to fund its three streams of work - research, support services and campaigning.

Research has helped to improve treatments and care which has saved tens of thousands of lives.

support services have helped hundreds of thousands of people get through one of the most frightening experiences of their lives and build a life after stroke.

And our campaigning has touched the lives of even more people through initiatives like the FAST campaign which they developed to help people recognise the signs of a stroke and take emergency action. The Department of Health in England was so impressed with this campaign that they took it up in 2009 and promoted to millions of people.

But it cannot be achieved without your help. It is only through your support that they are able to provide an essential source of support for stroke and rehabilitation researchers across the UK.


Together we can conquer stroke
