Stroke Association Resolution Run

Belfast runners race to conquer stroke with Stroke Association

400 people from across Northern Ireland ran, jogged and walked on Sunday 25 February, raising funds for the Stroke Association at the charity’s annual Resolution Run. The 5/10k fixture, which attracted top local athletes, took place at Queens Sport, Upper Malone.

Paul Montgomery, Fundraising Manager at the Stroke Association in Northern Ireland said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along on Sunday to support our Resolution Run.  With around 35,000 people in Northern Ireland living with the devastating impact of stroke, it is vital that we have people like our Resolution Runners to raise funds and help us conquer stroke.

“We’re extremely grateful to everyone who took part – it was a fantastic turn out and a great day for everyone involved. It was great to see so many local athletes, stroke survivors, carers and supporters enjoying the day. The money raised will fund vital research and support for stroke survivors in Northern Ireland, as well as help to prevent people from having a stroke.”

At least half of strokes could be prevented if people made simple lifestyle changes, such as keeping blood pressure under control, eating healthily and taking regular exercise.

The Stroke Association provides speech and language therapy and communication support services across Northern Ireland as well as family support and Life After Stroke grants via the Stroke Recovery Service.
