AROUND 150 people from Wyre Forest ran, jogged and walked to raise more than £6,000 for the Stroke Association’s Resolution Run.
On Sunday, October 2, a sea of purple fundraisers took to Wyre Forest to complete a 5K, 10K or 15K course, to raise funds for the Stroke Association.
Katrin Winstanley, regional fundraiser at the Stroke Association, said: “With around 152,000 strokes a year in the UK – that is around one every three and a half minutes – it is vital that we have people like our resolution runners to raise funds and help us conquer stroke.
“We are extremely grateful to everyone who took part – it was a fantastic turn out and a great day for everyone involved.
“The money raised will fund vital research and support, as well as help to prevent people from having a stroke.”
