Thursday 16th January 2020 my grandad had a stroke causing him to lose all movement in the right side of his body. He spent 9 weeks in 2 different hospitals and is currently now in a care home. We are still unaware of what the future may hold for him or us as a family but by raising money for Stroke association it will fund the help and support for him and others in the future that have or are dealing with life after a stroke. Recovery can take weeks, months, years or maybe not even at all but we are thankful to still have my grandad with us. 

I have entered myself for the "5k resolution run" to raise money for Stroke Association. Those that know me will know i am definitely not a runner.... especially after my dodgy knee injury last year (wish i could say it was a sporting injury) so although 5K doesnt seem much to some it will definitely be a challenge for me. My lovely mum and sister will also be joining me.

No matter how big or small your donation .... Every amount counts! Please write your name in your donation so i can personally thank you.
