Running 10K to support The Stroke Association
Tax deductible
Before ending 2018 I decided I needed a challenge for 2019. One of my New Year resolutions was to start running because I've always hated it since I was at school, and I've never been very good at it. But, as soon as I went for a run the first time, I decided that my 2019 challenge was gonna be running related and one day, talking with my colleagues at work, I decided that I was joining the Manchester 10K run on the 19th of May.
Even when this could have been my only challenge (until January I never did 5K), I also decided to do it in the best way possible, trying to help people while achieving my goal. Therefore, I decided to run for a charitable cause and to raise money for them, and I chose the 'Stroke Association'.
As some of you may know, my mum had a stroke 3 years ago and not many people is aware that 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Nearly 60% of stroke deaths are in women, and stroke kills twice as many women as breast cancer. Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women, that's why I decided to raise money for the Stroke association, which helps people by funding vital services and life-saving research.
So, please, if you can donate something, it doesn't really matter the amount, I'll be greatly in debt with you.
