TELEVISION weather girl Laura Tobin is urging people to sign up to take part in The Stroke Association’s Resolution Run at Heaton Park on March 5.
Ms Tobin said: "My grandmother had two strokes before she sadly passed away so I am no stranger to the devastating impact of stroke.”
There are Resolution Runs for all abilities, including 5k, 10k or 15k distances which participants can run, jog or walk.
She added: “By training and taking part you’re helping to reduce your own risk of having a stroke and the vital funds you’ll raise will help the Stroke Association to help those who have been affected by this incredibly cruel condition.
