Hello Everyone, 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and thank you even more for Donating!! As many of you will know, I am running the marathon to raise money for The Stroke Association, a charity which research to save lives, prevent stroke and ensure people make the best recovery they can. Every year there are approximately 152,000 strokes in the UK. Most affected are over 65, but anyone can have a stroke, including children and even babies. 

As you know this is a charity very close to myself, and my families heart, after my dad suffering a severe Stroke in 2014. However, a year has passed and we as a family are now learning to live with the affects of Stroke. As for my Dad, he is more determined than ever before. He keeps us all going and keeps our spirits high. He may not be able to tell us how he is feeling but he definitely takes comfort in making us happy. As you all know I made a bet with him that I would run the Marathon for him this year if he walked again. So here we are, please dig deep, Stroke is so cruel, and the more research that is done, the better. 

I shall see you at the finishing line ;-) get the champs ready!!!!
