I'm taking part in 62 miles in October 2025 to help keep active and raise vital funds to help stroke survivors find strength through support.

As many of you know, my husband and my children’s daddy had a stroke on 2nd January this year. Completely turning our life upside down. One minute I was talking to him and saying goodnight getting ready for a new start for 2025 (he was due back to work the next day). The next I was suddenly woken up to him having a stroke and fully into emergency mode. We are so lucky to have had the help that morning by my parents, the emergency services and the neurosurgeons at Addenbrookes Hospital and he’s still fighting for us every single day at a rehab unit. It’s still a long road ahead for him and us as a family, but he will come home. Different, but home, where he belongs.

Stroke leaves families in shock and confusion and in utter turmoil and surviving a stroke is just the start of a gruelling recovery journey! Brain injuries are so individual and so hard to understand and for such inpatient people like me and Alex we struggle together and individually. But we have such amazing support from our close family and friends, we feel very loved and cared for.

Stroke Association are the UK’s leading stroke support charity, supporting 88,000 stroke survivors and their families every year to find the strength and determination they need to find their way back to life. Your fundraising can help in amazing ways. It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide the vital support stroke survivors and their families need.

Thanks so much for your donations - we are really appreciative of your love and support.
