Siemens Stroke for Stroke

About Stroke for Stroke

Stroke is the main cause of severe adult disability and is the second biggest killer in the UK

Stroke for Stroke is a partnership between The Stroke Association and Siemens to help support Siemens' sponsorship of the GB rowing team, and to raise money to help fight stroke in the UK.

Stroke for Stroke aims to highlight the positive benefits of regular exercise by encouraging as many people as possible to row 10km during Stroke for Stroke Week, 25th - 31st January 2010, whilst raising funds for The Stroke Association.

We are also very grateful to Nuffield Health who are supporting us opening up their network of Fitness and Wellbeing centres: free five day passes are available for anyone who doesn't have regular access to a gym. So there's no excuse not to get rowing!

Stroke is the second biggest killer in the UK and over 1.1 million people are living with the after effects of stroke. It touches so many lives and yet is still incredibly underfunded. You can make a real difference by raising vital funds for The Stroke Association and reduce your stroke risk through exercise.
