When my dad died suddenly from a stroke 5 years ago, he left behind his wife of 35 years, my sister and i and his 6 month old grand daughter at the time.....Stroke took my sweet, funny and loving father from my family years before his time. Whilst we'll all have many happy memories, I'll always find it hard to accept what he's missing out on because of his stroke. Thousands of people are taken early by stroke every year, leaving many thousands more like me to suffer a sense of terrible loss.

Please give whatever you can and help me raise money for the stroke association in dad's memory. The Stroke Association is a brilliant charity who work to help not only prevent strokes but help people survive and recover from these horrible events.
