At CCL Group we're taking on the Surrey 3 Peaks Challenge in support of Different Strokes, a charity held close by myself and members of our team. Together, we're taking on the miles and the climbs not just for the adventure, but to raise awareness and funds for stroke survivors and their families.

Every year 100,000 people have a stroke and a 1/4 of these people are under the age of 65. That's 25,000 younger people whose lives are changed in an instant.

Different Strokes were there for me after my stroke in December 2018, after my stroke I felt that a massive part of me was missing, and through the Andover support group I was able to re-gain my confidence, this charity is, in my view, so important for younger survivors, so please dig deep!

Stroke is also the single biggest cause of disability in the UK, but it's not always the visible disabilities that stroke survivors have to contend with, debilitating fatigue, cognitive problems and personality changes can also be a lifelong challenge, preventing them from returning to work or bringing up a young family.
