Story

I'm running the Great Manchester Run Half Marathon for #TeamStroke in memory of my Dad. 

My Dad suddenly passed away in December 2022 at the age of 58 as a result of a stroke. I would appreciate any donations to the Stroke Association to help prevent strokes, fund research and support everyone who has been affected by a stroke to help them rebuild their lives. As my Dad was sadly taken from me and my family within a few days of having a stroke, we didn't get to see the benefit of all the amazing work that the Stroke Association do, but I would like to raise as much money as I can for the charity. 

This is for you Dad xxx

There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes. Stroke Association believes everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. Your support will help them to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments. Help me raise as much as possible to help rebuild lives after stroke - thank you!
