Edinburgh Marathon 22^nd May 2011

 

 

 

Hi

 

My name is Eric Thomson and I will be running in the 2011 Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for the Scottish Stroke Association.

 

To date I have raised  over £4000 and I would be delighted if you could help me reach a total of £5000 in 2011

 

Having already completed The Chris Hoy Half Marathons in 2009 and2010, the BUPA  2010 10k all in Edinburgh,the  Glenrothes 2010 10k and the 2010  16 mile Kilomathon I have decided to take the plunge and go for the “Full Monty  Marathon Experience"

 

Stroke is the leading cause of adult impairment and disability in Scotland.

About 12,500 people suffer a stroke each year and of these a third will die, a third will recover well but a third will survive with one or more impairments, including physical, sensory, neurological and psychological.

The  Scottish Stroke Association is  a charity  concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke across Scotland and their aim is to prevent stroke and reduce their effects on individuals and families.

 

I myself suffered a stroke in 2006 and so the charity has a special place in my life.

 

If you would like to sponsor me click the donate icon

 

Kind Regards

 

Eric Thomson
