Hospital Discharge

At Think Ahead Stroke we're happy to be your second most important call after 999, because we're all about what happens after hospital.

An iconic route cycled by hundreds of people every year, usually over 4 or 5 days. But how about doing it in just 1 day? A stunning 150 mile with 4500m of ascent road ride from the mountainous Western Lake District, through the Yorkshire Dales, across the flat Vale of York and finally the Northern Valleys of the North York Moors, finishing by the sea in Whitby. What better way to tick off this iconic cycle than by doing it in one day?

What causes Stroke

A stroke is an attack on the brain and takes place when the blood supply is disrupted, either by a blockage or a burst. In the UK, a stroke occurs approximately every three minutes and 27 seconds. 1 in 4 strokes are fatal within a year, making stroke one of the leading causes of death for both men and women.
