I had a stroke in 2013, as a consequence of the stroke I additionally have aphasia. Communication can be very difficult. Today I may speak clearly however tomorrow I can’t.
Aphasia is not a well known condition, as a result people with aphasia can feel very isolated and excluded.

I shall run the Brighton half marathon on March 1st 2026. My running helps me mentally. Aphasia can be difficult and frustrating for both the person with aphasia and family members.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help raise money and awareness for Say Aphasia. Donations big and small are very welcome - every penny counts.

Thank you xx Jill Wakeman
