Step out for Stroke - Stroke Association Walk


It is a beautiful sunny day, so it was off to Aberavon Beach to join the Deputy Mayor of Neath Port Talbot for the annual Stroke Association walk. This event is run jointly by the branches in Three Crosses in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot and aims to bring together stroke survivors, friends and families in a communal walk.

Each step helps to raise awareness of stroke and vital funds for the Stroke Associations work in supporting those affected by stroke. People walk at their own pace and in their own time.

This event used to be held in Mumbles but as that promenade has become congested in recent years it has been relocated to the amazing Aberavon Beach. It was a real family affair, complete with samba band and I enjoyed several conversations with the participants on the route.

I hope that they raised a good amount of money to support their future activities.
