Our friend, and team mate, Jermaine survived a stroke although it changed his life forever. With the help of the Stroke Association Jermaine is back playing football and enjoying life but not every stroke has the same outcome.

Strokes are the 4th single leading cause of death in the U.K and the leading cause of disability. Yet only 8 out of 10 people in the UK who are eligible for the emergency clot-busting treatment thrombolysis receive it and only 3 out of 10 stroke survivors who need a six month assessment of their health and social care needs receive one. 

Old Garchonians are cycling the Thames Bridges Bike Ride 2017 to raise funds for the Stroke association and to help people like Jermaine in the future.
