WITH the days getting shorter and less than 80 shopping days left until Christmas, it's time to start thinking what cards you will be sending this year!

The Stroke Association has just launched its Christmas catalogue for this year and it features a wide selection of yuletide greeting cards as well as a pocket diary for 2002 that makes an ideal stocking filler.

All the profits from the catalogue help fund the charity's vital work for people affected by stroke. Stroke is the single biggest cause of death and disability in this country.

The catalogue is available free by calling 01604 623924/623901 or by e-mailing appeals@stroke.org.uk
