HUNDREDS of runners from across the region jogged and walked across the picturesque Hagley scenery all for the good of the Stroke Association.

A sea of purple fundraisers took to Hagley Hall on Sunday (March 13) to complete either a 5km or 10km course during the Resolution Run event.

More than 400 people took part in the run and raised thousands of pounds towards the vital work done by the charity to help conquer stroke.

Katrin Winstanley, events manager at the Stroke Association, said: “We’re extremely grateful to everyone who took part – it was a fantastic turn out and a great day for everyone involved.

“We’d also like to thank Lord Cobham, Clent Hills Rotary Club and Hagley Rotary Club, who helped to raise awareness and organise the run.

“The money raised on the day will fund vital research and support, as well as help to prevent people from having a stroke.”

The Stroke Association campaigns to improve stroke care, while supporting people to make the best recovery they can, with funds going towards research to change the lives of people affected by stroke.
