Edinburgh Marathon 27 May 2012
Hi
My name is Eric Thomson and I will be running in the 2012 Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for the Scottish Stroke Association.
To date I have raised over £5000 and I would be delighted if you could help me reach my target of £6000 in 2012
Stroke is the leading cause of adult impairment and disability in Scotland.
About 12,500 people have a stroke each year and of these a third will die, a third will recover well but a third will survive with one or more impairments, including physical, sensory, neurological and psychological.
The Scottish Stroke Association is a charity concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke across Scotland and their aim is to prevent stroke and reduce their effects on individuals and families.
I myself suffered a stroke in 2006 and so the charity has a special place in my life.
If you would like to sponsor me click the donate icon
Kind Regards
Eric Thomson
