There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.

We're here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Join #TeamStroke for this fantastic half marathon! Starting in Newcastle, crossing the iconic Tyne Bridge and ending at South Shields coast, the route will be filled with musical entertainment, charity cheer buses and thousands of spectators all rooting for you. It's not one to miss.
