As a specialist stroke team we are constantly trying to raise awareness of stroke symptoms and raise much needed funds to further improve the quality of care for stroke patients and their families. Stroke is often a devastating condition and can affect not just older people but also young adults, as well as teenagers and children.  

Unlike other conditions such as cancer or heart disease, stroke attracts little in the way of charity funding, and as such we want to look at ways to raise money, for much needed specialist equipment and technology to further improve stroke care for patients in Sheffield. All money raised will go to our local Sheffield Hospitals Charity, to support the local stroke service in Sheffield.

The stroke team, friends and family and pets, as well as stroke survivors and their families, together with anyone else who would like to support this event, will walk the Round Sheffield walk on Saturday 2nd October from 10am. The walk is about 14 miles in total, so you can walk (or run!) as little or as much of the walk as you like.
