At David Lloyd Harrogate we will be completing a 12 hour 'run/walkathon' on World Stroke Day, 29th October 2021 to raise funds for A Stroke of Luck (please see more info below about the charity). Members and staff will be doing 30 minute slots each to keep them going for the duration. 

We want to help raise awareness about Stroke, Young Stroke Survivors and the signs and symptoms to be aware of to help others in future. 

This is a subject close to our hearts after our receptionist , Caroline, suffered an unexpected Ischemic stroke in January 2020. A Stroke of Luck helped provide an online community of other young stroke survivors for Caroline to connect to especially during lockdown. They share survivors stories to help raise awareness and they share access to ongoing physio programmes as well. They also work closely with Stroke Association. 

If you'd like to read more of Caroline's story, she started a blog which you can view at www.chattycaz.com 

Raising awareness of stroke in young people, funds for other stroke survivors and the signs and symptoms to look out for has become something Caroline is very passionate about since experiencing the shock a stroke herself and we need to keep sharing the message. 

Please join her on the day and/or help her raise money for this deserving charity.
