Story

We would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our page.

Our dear friend and work colleague Abide suffered a stroke on the 13th of June 2024 which has deeply shocked us all .

Abide is only 35 years old.

Nearly 8 weeks on Abide has shown amazing fight and resilience with her daily challenges and her recovery is going really well.

We have absolute faith that she will reclaim her life back in some way and return to being a Biomedical Scientist and finish her Masters degree that she was so close to finishing.

Challenge

Abide’s Angels - our team members are Gemma , Emma and Yolanda and we have set ourselves the challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 6th of April 2025 to raise funds for Different Strokes.

Different Strokes is a small national charity supporting working age and younger stroke survivors. They work to support thousands of families impacted by stroke every year. The majority of staff and trustees are stroke survivors themselves or have a close personal connection to stroke.

The services they provide enable younger stroke survivors to reclaim their lives through active peer support.

There are 100,000 strokes in the UK each year with 1 in 4 happening to somebody of working age or younger .

A stroke is life changing but not life ending.

With your help we can make a real difference for younger survivors that have been affected by a stroke.

Thank you for supporting Abide’s Angels and Different Strokes with your donation.
