I’m always looking for the next challenge so when my best mate had a stroke last October I decided that if she was going to fight to get herself back to fitness there was no reason why I couldn’t set myself a challenge. Her determination since then has been incredible so I have absolutely no excuses.

So …. I have signed myself up for my first (and probably last) half marathon in April and am very proud to be running on behalf of Different Strokes.

I know there are so many amazing charities that need support currently, but I would be so grateful if you’d give your support to this one, who are making a difference to so many young people post a stroke.

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.

Thank you so much for supporting me and Different Strokes with your donation.
