Gabriella Lindsay is raising money for Stroke Association

Skydive · 28 August 2025

Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families.

Story

Hello everyone!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be taking a leap—quite literally—by skydiving to raise funds for the Stroke Association! This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as my dad has faced the challenges of multiple strokes. His journey has inspired me to take action, and I want to help others who are navigating similar struggles.

A little back story on the effect a stroke can have on a person. My dad suffered his first stroke in 2017 in which altered his ability to speak, he then had another stroke in 2019 which took his ability to walk independently without aid. Then again just last year Billy suffered multiple stokes which completely took his speech and his mobility and the ability to eat& drink. My dad has now lost all his independence and is Peg fed to get all nutrition and lives in a care home for 24hr care due to the impact of his stroke!

The Stroke Association provides essential support, information, and resources for stroke survivors and their families. Their work is vital in promoting awareness, funding research, and offering rehabilitation services that can significantly improve lives. By supporting my skydiving challenge, you can help ensure that these services continue to be available for those in need.

**My Goal:**

I aim to raise £400 for the Stroke Association through this skydiving adventure. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact and contribute to the vital work being done to support stroke survivors.

**How You Can Help:**

1. **Donate:** Your support means the world to me! Please consider making a donation to my skydiving challenge. Together, we can make a difference.

2. **Share:** Spread the word! Share this page with your friends, family, and social media networks to help me reach my goal.

**Why It Matters:**

Strokes can change lives in an instant, but together we can help bring hope and support to those affected. Your generosity will help fund research and resources that can lead to better outcomes for survivors and their families.

Thank you for your support as I take this plunge for a cause that means so much to me!

With gratitude,

Gabriella
