Recently a member of my family suffered a stroke.  It happened out of the nowhere and was a huge shock to all of us.  Although he will make full recovery we hope, we have decided to raise both awareness and some money for Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland.

Many of the Touch of Class DJs and some friends and family will be running the Baker Hughes 10k.

Hopefully you will be able to sponsor us and maybe come and support us on the day!

Anyone can suffer a stroke

Every year, around 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. That’s one person every five minutes. Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the UK.

Strokes happen to younger people too
Although most people who have a stroke are older, around a quarter of strokes happen in younger people. It is estimated that over 20,000 people under 65 have a stroke every year, and stroke also happens to children and babies.
