A horrific ordeal
A dad from Preston is embarking on an inspirational marathon to raise money after a stroke turned his life upside down in his early 40s.
David suffered an initial loss of use to the left side of his body. His ability to speak correctly was hindered and he experienced severe double vision. "Most of my symptoms were short lived fortunately but I underwent a lot of physio. I found walking into work, if I stopped at a junction and looked left and right, by the I've looked ahead I was too dizzy to cross the road.
"The vertigo has been the hardest issue to work with, having been pretty fit before my stroke, getting back to exercise such as running, swimming and cycling has been difficult with cycling still alluding me, and only managing a spinning bike for fear of coming off on a road bike through the instability," He added.
