It\u2019s so easy to arrange your own step out event as well, and we have all the tools you need to get started. An event like Step Out for Stroke is the perfect excuse to get out into the fresh air for an afternoon walk with friends or family and by raising the sponsorship money equivalent to the cost of one pair of shoes you can fund the research that will help the 150,000 people that have a stroke in the UK every year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, or to organise your own event, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stroke.org.uk\/stepout\">www.stroke.org.uk\/stepout<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adults living in the South West admit to owning on average 16 pairs of shoes.
