Team DJS Sponsored Walk for The Stroke Association

9 May 2025 (by Catherine Passmore (catherine.hakner))

Team DJS are walking 26.2 miles around the Yorkshire Wolds in a challenging circular trail that is part of the 44 mile Wold Rangers Way on Saturday 28th June to raise money for The Stroke Association.

There is a very personal reason behind choosing this charity for many members of staff, and more recently for our very own Sophie, when on the 4th May 2024, her world changed forever when her 16 month old happy little boy, Robin, suffered a stroke. Just days later whilst in Hull Royal, he had another, much larger stroke, which left him in a critical condition.

We want to do everything we can to help others going through similar experiences and raise awareness to childhood stroke. But stroke can affect any one, of any age, and the impact it has on the person and their family is life changing. We’ve created this page to raise funds for The Stroke Association so they can continue their work. Every donation will help them to support and care for people and their families affected by stroke. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us.
