Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 13th of May I am attempting to run a half marathon in Leeds to raise money for The Stroke Association. Every year an estimated 150,000 people have a stroke. Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about are third are likley to recover within a month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation.

This is something that has affected my family personally and the charity has been hugely helpful providing support and advice through monthly newsletters. The association also sponsors a lot of research.

Many of you will know that my athletic career is...well non-existent so this will be a real challenge and any donations would be greatly appreciated.
