I will be walking from London Paddington to Northampton, along the Grand Union Canal, to raise money for the Stroke Association. Strokes have now affected three of my grandparents, so I have seen first-hand the damage they can cause.

"When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough. But the brain can adapt. Our specialist support, research and campaigning are only possible with the courage and determination of the stroke community. With more donations and support from you, we can rebuild even more lives." Stroke Association

Any donations will be gratefully received.
