I'll be running the London Marathon for @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social in 2026!
This year, around 7,000 people in Wales will wake up to the devastation of stroke.
I'm aiming to raise more than £2,500 in sponsorship, any amount would be much appreciated to get me on my way.

Investing in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehab NOW could save the NHS tens of billions every year by 2035.
More importantly, it will save lives.

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs.
Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better.
