Isaac's Run for Aphasia Awareness

On the 30th of January I will be running the 50k option in the inaugural Port Hills Ultra race and I would like to take this opportunity to raise money and awareness for a massively under funded and under represented charity - AphasiaNZ

Aphasia is a condition (most commonly caused by a stroke) where the brain loses the ability speak or understand spoken work or written language, but does not affect the persons intelligence - leaving them needing to learn how to read, write and speak again

Approximately 17,000 New Zealanders currently suffer from post stroke Aphasia, but there is no guaranteed funding or support for the charity

My Uncle Tony was diagnosed with Aphasia after suffering a stroke. My aunty and cousins lost the husband and dad that they had known before the stroke, but Aphasia NZ and its community showed (and continue to show) amazing support

Please help me to put AphasiaNZ on the map
