Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are running the Lincoln 10k for Stroke Association due to Cat's mum who had a stroke a few years ago.
Cat has never run further than 5k so this will really be difficult challenge for her but one which she will strive to achieve.
Please support us as this is a cause so very close to our hearts and almost everyone will know someone who has been affected by a stroke.
Every year an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about a third are likely to make a recovery within one month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation.
The Stroke Association funds research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation, and helps stroke patients and their families directly through its Life After Stroke Services. These include Information, Advice and Support, Communication Support and Life After Stroke grants.
