Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We have chosen the Stroke Association as our charity as it is something very close to our hearts. Back in September 2011, our adorable dad suffered a huge stroke. This had a devastating effect on dad and all of us as a family. Dad was just 66 years old at the time and the stroke has left him with total left side paralysis.
Thankfully, dad still has his speech, humour and memory etc and we are continuing physio with him to regain the movement in his left side.
We have, in the past, done 5k events but this 10k event is a huge step up for us and training has started.
Running the 10k will be a massive challenge to us but not half as much of a challenge that our dear dad faces everyday.
We hope to make him and our family proud of this achievement and also raise some much needed funds for the Stroke Association – an immense charity.
A Stroke can affect anyone, regardless of age so come on, dig deep and help us support this wonderful charity.
Thank you. Sally and Jo xxx
