By signing up to the Edinburgh Kiltwalk, you’re making a real difference to the 1 in 5 people in Scotland who are living with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid.

Every penny you raise will allow us to reach even more people who desperately need our help through our Community Healthcare Support Service.

You’re helping people like Tim. Tim had a stroke at the age of 36 which completely changed his life forever.

“I suffered three strokes within three days. My wife and children watched me have a stroke right in front of them.”

“Thankfully I survived, but from that point on my battle to recover began. The stroke left me with left-sided paralysis. I couldn’t do anything for myself. Part of my head was missing, and I was a mess.”

“It was hard to accept that I had come so close to leaving my family and friends. But I didn’t. I survived.”

“The time when you leave hospital can be the most lonely, isolating and difficult of times. Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland is there to make sure no one has to recover alone. But the work the charity does is only possible thanks to you. Your support means everything.”
