Edinburgh man’s fundraising challenge after seeing the impact of stroke
Stuart Fenwick, aged 29 is taking part in all three of the Stroke Association’s Resolution Runs in February and March this year.
Stuart, saw the real life impact of a stroke after his grandad had two strokes a few years ago. Stuart noticed how a stroke can affect everything we do: our physical health as well as our mental health. His Grandfather’s mental health greatly declined after his stroke that made Stuart realise just how important it is for the emotional effects of a stroke to be taken seriously.
A few years later Stuart lost a very inspirational teacher to stroke.
This is the reason for taking part in the Stroke Association’s Resolution Runs.
Stuart says:
“Running for such a great cause is ideal to kick start my year of 10Ks. I think there is so much support that can be given to everyone affected by stroke and to help raise funds for this, gives me great satisfaction.”
Angie Macleod, Communications Manager at the Stroke Association in Scotland said:
“It is amazing to see Stuart taking part in all three of our Resolution Runs. It takes somebody who is fit, but who has great passion for the cause. Stuart is very aware of the huge impact a stroke can have and we want everyone to be aware just how serious stroke is. We also want people to be aware of the benefits of exercise in helping to prevent a stroke.”
The Stroke Association’s Edinburgh Resolution Run 2018 takes place on Sunday 4 March 2018at he foreshore in Cramond.
