If you're going to run 26.2 miles, there's something worth doing it for...

Earlier this year, my partner's father suffered a stroke.

Sometimes people don't even know they've suffered a stroke, but sometimes it can change their, and their families lives, forever.

This charity helps people and their families recover to the best of their abilities and adjust to a new way of life. This charity will directly help Rob's father Len so it seemed right to choose to raise money for them.

Strokes can affect anyone, anywhere, anytime. Every penny counts so please give what you can. Thank you.

Headway Thames Valley is a charity based in Henley-on-Thames helping people to live life after brain injury in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.

There are many possible causes of brain injury, including a fall, a road accident, tumour, stroke, cardiac arrest, complications during operations and more.

A brain injury can challenge every aspect of your life – the way you walk, talk, think and feel.

All the activities and support we offer aim to help people to regain lost skills, learn something new and to build confidence and independence.
