My Why
Friday 24th Apr I had the worst headache of my life on February 2, 2026. It just wouldn't go away. Lots of water and advil and still it persisted. 2 days later I went to bed, and had a grand mal seizure. My partner called 911 and I went to the ER by ambulance where I had another seizure and had to be sedated.CT scan showed both a clot and a bleed in my brain. I had a stroke.
I spent 8 days in the hospital, and almost 3 months later I'm here at home, still recovering. While I'm extremely lucky I have no mobility issues, I do have problems with neurofatigue, memory and word retrieval.
I'm learning the importance of rest and giving my brain a chance to heal. Although it is slow going, I am getting the various medical treatments I need.
So here I am joining the Heart and Stroke Running May Challenge. I've been a runner since 2009, having completed many 5ks, 10ks, a few halfs and one full marathon. No better way for me to get back to running, while fundraising and promoting awareness for a cause now near and dear to me.
Whether you are able to make a donation or volunteer at an event... thanks for your support.
