On the 20th September I'll be running the Great North Run half marathon for the Stroke Association. Every year an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. The Stroke Association is the only British charity solely concerned with combating stroke in people of all ages. The charity funds research into prevention, treatment, and better methods of rehabilitation.
