I'm running the London Marathon for @TheStrokeAssoc in 2026!
This year, around 7,000 people in Wales will wake up to the devastation of stroke. I'm aiming to raise more than £2,500 in sponsorship, so any amount would be much appreciated.

Another excellent Cross Party Group on Stroke with my friends from @TheStrokeAssoc. This meeting focused on prevention and awareness and we heard a moving story from a stroke survivor and his stepson's quick actions to get help.

Thank you @AltafHussainSWW for hosting such an important conversation ahead of #StrokePreventionDay tomorrow.
Inspiring to hear from stroke survivor Damian about the lifestyle behaviours that led to his stroke at today’s Cross-Party Group on Stroke - and the changes he’s made since. @DrAhmadStrokeUK also presented on the benefits of preventing strokes; to patients and reducing NHS costs.

🚑 I'm proudly Stroke CPG Chair. Wales's orange category changes are an improvement in helping stroke sufferers. However every second can count, stroke still needs more attention with progress painfully still slow, Wales needs national (regular) Act FAST public health campaigns!
