Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On November 1st 2013 a very special lady, Florence Halden sadly passed away after suffering a stroke at home several weeks before.
`Mrs H` as I always called her was cared for by the most amazing, dedicated staff on Beech Ward at King Georges Hospital, Goodmayes, Essex.
Having never experienced anyone who has suffered a stroke, it opened my eyes and taught me so much about this medical condition, stroke occurs approximately 152,000 time a year in the UK, that is one every 3 seconds, one in three strokes are fatal within a year - and the third single largest cause of death in the UK, the most alarming statistic is that everyone can have a stroke including Children
I would like to raise monies for Stroke awareness, my target is £750 but would like to exceed that figure, I will be riding the gruelling 100 mile London/Surrey course, my target is to cover this route at an average speed of 16-17mph meaning a painful six hours in the saddle, `Mrs H` will be my inspiration to finish, in her memory please support me and this wonderful cause
Thank you so much
