As one of the two official charities for the 2006 Flora London Marathon, the Stroke Association expects to raise around £1 million from the event.
“This is brilliant news and a fantastic opportunity for us to promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle which can reduce the risk of stroke,” said Jon Barrick, Chief Executive of The Stroke Association.
The charity’s National Events Team is already promoting their involvement in the Marathon and encouraging runners to use the event on 23 April 2006 to fundraise for them.
