THE Stroke Association is looking for people with places in the Flora London Marathon to run in aid of the charity.

Last year participants in the marathon raised more than £34,000 to fund vital research and support for people affected by stroke, this country's single biggest cause of death and disability.

The 26-mile race is to take place on April 22 this year. For more information about helping The Stroke Association through the marathon, please contact Kate Hunter -- the national events officer on (0207) 5660324, or e-mail her at khunter@stroke.org.uk
