We lost my Mum in 2002, she suffered 3 consecutive strokes it was heartbreaking she was only 67 and had so much life to live. Not a day goes past that i don't think of her so she will keep me going through the 26.2 miles.

During the pandemic my husband suffered 2 strokes 5 weeks apart we are so lucky that he has made a full recovery after a few months of therapy and rehabilitation the amazing service the NHS gave him. So my drive to get around the 26.2 mile course is to raise money for this charity as it is  important to us as a family to help others rebuilding their lives after Stroke.

The Stroke Association are the UK's leading stroke charity, delivering amazing, life-changing support to over 70,000 stroke survivors and their families each year.Without fundraisers, like you, we could not provide the support and research that we do. Your donations are so important to rebuilding lives after stroke.Where your money goes:£80 could allow a a stroke survivor to attend a six week communication computer course£199 could pay for one hour of Helpline activity£310 could pay for the initial training and expenses of a befriending volunteer£1,685 could pay for a fitness coach to provide stroke specific exercise rehabilitation£40,000 funds a Lectureship Award for stroke doctor, nurse, therapist or scientist for a year£450,000 fully funds a Priority Programme Award in haemorrhagic stroke, vascular dementia and stroke, or the psychological and cognitive impact of stroke, which would run over the course of 5 years
