[bambam]

Ok ... I am still new nothing to loose if I pop this up ....

I will be attempting the Thames Bridges Bike Ride for The Stroke Association 23/05/2010 - its 33miles!!!

Did you know?

1. Every five minutes someone in the UK has a stroke. That’s an estimated 150,000 people per year.

2. Stroke is the third biggest killer and the leading cause of severe disability in the UK. More than 250,000 people live with disabilities caused by stroke.

3. Almost one in four men and one in five women aged 45 can expect to have a stroke if they live to 85.

4. Around three times more women die from stroke than from breast cancer in the UK.

5. The direct cost of stroke to the NHS is estimated to be £2.8 billion. The cost to the wider economy is £1.8 billion. The informal care cost is £2.4 billion
