Follow my journey towards my first ever Marathon and help raise money for this amazing charity.

On the 23rd of April 2023, along with my sister Emily, we will be running the London Marathon to raise money for the Stroke Association in honour of our wonderful Nan, who suffered a haemorrhagic stroke and was very sadly and suddenly taken her from us in February 2021.

Nan Davey was our little friend; funny and full-of-life. In fact, she would have found the prospect of us both running a marathon highly amusing!

The Stroke Association are the UK's leading stroke charity, delivering amazing, life-changing support to over 70,000 stroke survivors and their families each year. Without people raising funds for the Stroke Association, they could not provide the support and research that they do. Your donations are so important to rebuilding lives after stroke.

Where your support goes:

• £80 could allow a stroke survivor to attend a six week communication computer course
• £199 could pay for one hour of Helpline activity
• £310 could pay for the initial training and expenses of a befriending volunteer
• £1,685 could pay for a fitness coach to provide stroke specific exercise rehabilitation
• £40,000 funds a Lectureship Award for stroke doctor, nurse, therapist or scientist for a year- £450,000 fully funds a Priority Programme Award in haemorrhagic stroke, vascular dementia and stroke, or the psychological and cognitive impact of stroke, which would run over the course of 5 years
