Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are taking part in this challenge for a couple of reasons, I suffer from Cancer and a lady for who this charity means a lot to helped my family and I and I want to pay something back, we all wanted a way to get fitter and healthier and we wanted to do something big to mark our friend moving to Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Following is a little information about Aphasia...

Imagine life if you suddenly found yourself unable to read a newspaper, write a shopping list, talk to family or friends, use a telephone or do many other everyday activities.

Aphasia (or dysphasia) means problems with communication (speaking, understanding,
 reading, writing). Such difficulties often arise after stroke or other brain trauma.

About 130,000 people in Britain have a stroke each year (Office of National Statistics) and it is generally accepted that a third of these are left with some form of aphasia.

Aphasia has a sudden and profound effect on the person, their family and friends. It impacts on the individual’s confidence, personal relationships, employment and social life
