In February my Dad had a stoke and is now living with aphasia, which has taken away his ability to communicate. As one of life’s natural live wires and bubbliest chatterboxes, this has been a challenging and emotional time for him and our family.
2026 Brighton Half-Marathon and Raising Money for Say Aphasia.
I’m going to be doing the Half-Marathon in two weeks time. I’m definitely going to be slow, but it will be worth it. All sponsorship is greatly appreciated! Colin Lyall
One of your trustees introduced me to the charity and I instantly agreed to run on the charities behalf following gaining an understanding of the important work the charity supports.
To help research and to help volunteers who deal with people who suffer from aphasia
As a common and often life-changing result of stroke, aphasia can make communication difficult and impact confidence, independence, and wellbeing. A few members of the Eastbourne Stroke Team are taking on the challenge of the Brighton Half Marathon to raise vital funds for specialist services and resources that make a real difference to recovery and quality of life.
SAY Aphasia is an organisation that supports people living with aphasia, helping them regain confidence in communication and feel like themselves again. They provide practical support, understanding, and a sense of normality, teaching people how to live full and meaningful lives with aphasia.By supporting SAY Aphasia, we can help ensure that people with speech and language difficulties are not forgotten after stroke, and that they receive the patience, respect, and support they deserve.
I am running Brighton Half Marathon on 1st March to raise money for Say Aphasia, a charity that supports those affected by Aphasia.I am so grateful for the opportunity to help raise money and awareness for this amazing charity.Donations big and small are very welcome - every penny counts.
