Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm giving this marathon business another go! The 26.2 miles nearly finished me off last time so the obvious thing to do was to ... enter again. I'm no natural runner so this really is a challenge.

I'm running to raise money for the Stroke Association who offer help and support to people and families who have been affected by a Stroke. Every year around 150,000 people in the UK have a Stroke - thats one person every 5 minutes. Stroke is the third most common cause of death in this country.

My nana died from a Stroke a few years ago so this charity is close to my heart. Please help me to raise lots of money to help the Stroke association continue their excellent work.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Stroke Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
