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

Around 150,000 people have a stroke each year in the UK, and my sister's quite often one of them. The Stroke Association provides support for those people and carries out research towards prevention.

They're the charity for this year's otherwise pointless adventure. I'll be attempting to walk the Pennine Way from Edale, Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm, Scotland in two weeks, as opposed to the usual 3 or 4. That's the equivalent of walking a marathon distance every day over hills and moors, carrying everything I'll need on my back.

It'll be in May or June, depending on the weather conditions, so please support me. Or even better, join me! Just for a few hours, days, or all the way.
