I'm running the Great North Run for #TeamStroke this year.

I wanted to support a charity that is close to my heart. My lovely mum had a stroke in 2020, and I am so grateful to Stroke Association for the important role they've played in giving her the support and advice she needed in her journey to a fantastic recovery.

There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.

Stroke Association believes everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. Your support will help them to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Please help me raise as much as possible to help more people to rebuild lives after stroke - thank you!
