Hello

As many of you know, my Mum passed away very suddenly on Tuesday 27th February 2024. Unfortunately my mum had suffered a bleed to the Brain causing a devastating Stroke.

I hope to raise awareness of the causes of a Stroke and the impact it can have. I'm taking on 31 Minutes of exercise in May! I'm challenging myself to complete 31 minutes of an exercise (of my choosing) every day throughout May.

31 Minutes of exercise in May is a fun way for us all to keep active and raise vital funds to help rebuild lives after stroke. Your fundraising can help in incredible ways:

• £50 could help us fund research to find new ways to help stroke survivors with communication difficulties.

• £150 could help pay for research into new stroke treatments, such as thrombolysis, a clot-busting drug that returns the blood supply to the brain that has transformed the outcomes of stroke survivors who have received it.

• £250 could pay for one hour of Helpline activity, helping the families of stroke survivors support their loved ones after stroke.
