Hi there

My Parish Plans

So that's me in the picture with the pink Team Edward bib on! As you can probably tell, I'm not the average Parish Walk competitor as I'll be assisted by a four wheel walker called Roy (Roy Walker 😂😂😂).

My name is Edward Kelly and in October 2002, just days after my 21st birthday, I had a severe stroke that I've never fully recovered from. I’m entering the 2019 Parish Walk on the 22nd June and I will be raising money for the Manx Stroke Foundation.

On the day of the Parish, I am going to give it my all and see how far I can get from the NSC track start line, and, as an added bonus, the Parish Committee are also allowing me to cross the finish line on Douglas Promenade around 10pm in the evening.

As well as raising money for the Manx Stroke Foundation, I want to inspire people to be more active and I hope to prove that you can become a stronger person by overcoming a seemingly hopeless situation.  

If you have a spare ten minutes and want to read more, check out this great article on the Parish Walk Website 

Thank you for your time & support 😁

We are also dedicated to raising awareness of stroke and its risk factors so that strokes can be prevented.
