Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Stroke is devastating. 150,000 people have a stroke every year. 50,000 recover while 50,000 people die. Another 50,000 are left with severe disability and reliant on their families and carers for vital support.

I have decided to do the 5K run for the Stroke Association because this is something that is close to my heart.  My mum suffered a very serious stroke at a very young age of 39, just 3 weeks before her 40th Birthday and sadly passed away. This is something that I will never get over. 

I had been looking for something like this to do relating to strokes due to my mother, my gran and her mother suffering from strokes it seems it may be in our genes and I feel any help fundraising getting to the bottom of why and helping Stroke Association to work towards a future with fewer strokes, and where all those affected get the help they need.
