Story

This year I am running for the Stroke Association, I am running it for my best friends partner after he suffered a stroke in Jan 2018.

My runs this year are:

Gateshead 10k in August

Great North Run in September

All money raised will be going directly to the Stroke Association. 

My best friend and her family have been my absolute rocks through some really tough times and although I'm not giving directly to them this means alot to me because I am doing it for them ♡.

My friends partner spent a few months in hospital/a rehab centre before he was able to return home and although he has come so far he still has a very long road ahead of him to hopefully make a full recovery.

We are all so proud of how far he has come and I have no doubts he will continue to progress because he has the best support he needs by his side.

I have set up this justgiving page to help me hit the minimum required target of £350 which is the decision of the Stroke Association - although I appear to be struggling because the support network I thought I had isn't there.

Anything above that would be a bonus. But just to hit the REQUIRED target would mean alot.

Please and thank you, it would be very much appreciated.
