In memory of my mum, Joanna and my grandad Pat, I'm challenging myself to skip for 15 minutes a day throughout February!

Skip for Stroke is a fun way for us all to keep active and raise vital funds to help stroke survivors find strength through support.

Your fundraising can help in incredible ways:

• £50 could help us fund research to find new ways to help stroke survivors with communication difficulties.

• £145 could help run a long-term communication support group, empowering stroke survivors to achieve the best possible level of communication, improving confidence and supporting with independence

• £250 could pay for one hour of Helpline activity, helping the families of stroke survivors support their loved ones after stroke.
