Approximately 795,000 people in the U.S. suffer from a stroke every year. In addition, about 1 in 3 of ischemic stroke are classified as cryogenic, meaning the cause is unknown (American Heart Association, 2021).
I'm walking this year to show support for those stroke survivors. I've had the pleasure of working alongside and supporting stroke survivors who have changed my life, and allowed me to change theirs for the better.
It's time to give back to our stroke survivors, give them the life they deserve, and prevent others from having to live with a stroke. I'm walking to push forward stroke prevention, improve stroke post-acute recovery, and reduce the risk for heart disease which contributes to stroke.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
