Dear valued supporter,

I have the pleasure of running the Brighton Marathon on the 10th April 2011 and have chosen to raise money for the Stroke Association and particularly the Stroke Club at Hove Polyclinic. The club has provided wonderful support to my father and mother over the past few years. My father, Vic Plank, suffered a massive stroke 7 years ago and suffers from severe dysphasia and immobility.   

The Stroke Club helps families by taking an active approach in ensuring that life goes on for people who have had a stroke. This can mean helping them to acquire new skills or relearn old ones. It may also involve helping them adapt to the limitations caused by stroke. Or it can mean helping them find social, emotional and practical support.

Many Thanks
