During these tough, turbulent and downright tricky

During these tough, turbulent and downright tricky times, it's more important than ever that we check in on each other and make time to talk. So consider this post your mental health checkpoint! Take a moment and ask yourself: how do I feel right now?

It's totally understandable if you're not feeling your best right now. So why not share ONE positive thing from your week? It can be anything - there's no answer too big or small!

I'll start: I had the BEST cup of tea this morning. ☕ How about you?

Today at 6:30pm (GMT), Craig will be joined live on Instagram Stories by @oxford_uni researcher Ellie Macey, who will be discussing her research into sleep improvement for stroke survivors. If you have any questions for Ellie or Craig, drop them in the comments below or shoot us a DM. See you all soon!

Have you had a stroke and are looking to improve your sleep? Researchers at the University of Oxford are looking for volunteers to trial a new six-week online programme for sleep improvement. Read on if you're interested! 💤🛏

In this study, participants will have the opportunity to use 'Sleepio', an online programme designed for sleep improvement. Sleepio has been shown to improve the sleep quality and duration for individuals with insomnia. This research project is exploring whether the programme is effective for individuals following stroke.

If you would like to find out more about the study or if you have any questions, please get in touch with Melanie Fleming or Ellie Macey through sleep@fmrib.ox.ac.uk or 01865 611461. We'll be hearing more about the trial during tonight's Friday Live Session with Ellie Macey at 6:30pm, so tune in if you're interested!

Our founder, @craig_pankhurst, is getting his running shoes on and will be fundraising for A Stroke of Luck by running his FIRST-EVER marathon this year at the Manchester Marathon! 🏃‍♂️💨

"Some will know I have had a background in sport, but since retiring from swimming in 2002, in pursuit of business success, I did not look after my physical wellbeing. This culminated in my stroke in 2018. From being a very healthy swimmer, I became the ultimate sedentary male weighing over 18 stone.

With my health in a much better place, I have decided to take on a big challenge: my first ever marathon. Over the next nine months, I will be aiming to get into good shape and will be training hard and focused on my nutrition.

I would welcome any support, be it via donation or just a "good luck" message. The money I raise will be used to create more stroke-specific exercise video content for stroke survivors in their life after stroke."

Best of luck, Craig - we're all rooting for you! If you'd like to support Craig, please head over to his #JustGiving page - link in bio!
