Story

Loren was 25, exercising in the garden, when all of a sudden, she had a pain in her neck. Thinking she had just pulled her neck, Loren is a bit of a weirdo so Harry told her to sit down and drink some water thinking that would bring her back to normality, That wasn't the case,  minutes later she was unable to speak, see or move. Dropping in and out of consciousness, not having any control over anything. She couldn't swallow, she couldn't stop her teeth from chattering and she could only cry out of one eye. She was having a stroke. She had a blood clot in the basilar artery that comes with a death rate of higher than 85% and an even higher chance of suffering from locked in syndrome. 

My Main thoughts is how much that hurt me and us as a family. So if there is anyway I can hurt it back, I will. Secondly I want to say thank you to the people who were involved in saving her life and then the aftercare she received, if it wasn't for the care that Loren had around her and from the charities such as STROKE she wouldn't be who she is today. 

I told myself id do anything to get the workers of  NHS and Stroke Association to hear me say thank you. Running 26 miles might just get that THANK YOU heard !! God-Bless...... OH YEAH, Please donate !! Yeah otherwise I'm paying it myself - £2,000 is the target and if i have to pay that myself, the Mrs will kick me out (She wont, but - Yaknow)!! Thank you if you took the time to read this.
