IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Having suffered a significant knee injury, Tom has had to make the very difficult decision to postpone the walk.

We'll update you once a new date has been arranged but it looking like September.
We're all absolutely gutted but Liza intends to carry on regardless and do her own walk closer to home.

Thanks for your continuing support and keep watching for more news.

What are you doing to help rebuild lives after stroke?

On April 6th 2019 Gez Wilson, supported by Debbie Greening, Caroline Fife and Katie Warrener will all be walking part of the South downs way from Upper Beeding to Chanctonbury Ring and back, an all day walk covering roughly 15 miles door to door,

Not too much of a challenge? For you maybe, but this time 4 years ago Gez was still in a wheelchair after suffering a massive stroke which still leaves her with right side paralysis. With great determination she progressed to being able to walk a few hundred metres using a walking aid. Last September Gez starting using an alpine stick which gives her much improved balance and stability, and has now progressed to being able to manage 6 miles, the furthest she has walked in 4 years!

So to make the 15 mile round trip, climbing up onto the South Downs and back, in whatever the April weather has to bring, is a mammoth challenge!

Gez’s walking crew and support team are great friends for stepping up to assist, and this is as much their own challenge as it is Gez’s.

They all want to complete a personal challenge but in doing so raise as much money as possible for such a great charity.

Huge respect for our friend and fellow stroke survivor Gez Wilson who's taking on her own challenge and walking from Beeding to Chanctonbury Ring and back on the 6th of April. 15 miles is a massive challenge for someone who still suffers from right side paralysis so please support her if you can.

Training walks and preparations are going well and fundraising for Different Strokes is coming along very nicely too.

What are you doing to fundraise for younger stroke survivors?
