Survivors take a Step Out for Stroke in Portsmouth
Over 70 stroke survivors and Portsmouth residents raised over £2,000 for the Stroke Association, by taking part in the charity’s Step Out for Stroke walk in Canoe Lake, on Saturday 9 June 2018.
Tammy Angus, Regional Fundraiser, at the Stroke Association, said: “We’re delighted with the turnout and money raised. Big thank you to the local community who really helped us to make this an event to remember and we’re very grateful to everyone for their support.
“A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time and it changes lives in an instant. For many stroke survivors, Step out for Stroke marks an important milestone in their road to recovery and seeing them take on this challenge was truly inspirational. Everyone who took part has helped raise vital funds for people affected by stroke.”
