Press release -
Local girl takes on Run to help stroke charity following experience
Caroline Porter from Rutherglen has decided to take part in the Glasgow Resolution Run on 11 March 2018.
Caroline’s Dad passed away from a major stroke three years ago, so she wants to do something positive to help raise awareness and raise funds for a cause close to her heart.
Caroline is only too aware of the side effects and the huge impact a stroke can have. She believes both preventing stroke and life after stroke support is important and gives hope to people affected by stroke in Scotland.”
Angie Macleod, Communications Manager at the Stroke Association in Scotland said:
“I am glad that Caroline is taking on this challenge after being affected by stroke. It is great to see her determination to raise awareness of stroke, which is vital in our work. She is also a fine example of someone committed to being fit (for the Run), which is in keeping with our stroke prevention messages. I wish Caroline all the best for the Stroke Association’s Resolution Run.”
The Stroke Association’s Glasgow Resolution Run 2018 takes place on Sunday 11 March at Glasgow Green.
