Help give a GREATER VOICE to stroke.
Someone suffers a stroke every other second – regardless of age or gender. Every six seconds, stroke claims a life. It’s critical that we give a greater voice to stroke. This year, on World Stroke Day, we need your help to raise awareness about this disease. Take 2 minutes to learn about how stroke can affect you or your loved ones, and spread the word using our educational materials here.
Take 2 minutes to tell us your stroke story. Whether you have experienced a stroke yourself or have witnessed the impact of stroke on family or friends, your voice is vital in raising awareness of prevention and treatment. Read the stories below that people around the world have shared, and share your own experience with stroke via text, photo or video on your preferred social network using the hashtag #TAKE2FORSTROKE.
