Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States.
Did you know "Time is Brain"?
-
For every minute a stroke goes untreated, approximately 1.9 million brain cells die. The longer a person waits to get help, the more damage the stroke can cause. This can lead to severe and permanent disability, or even death.
-
Rapid treatment can save brain tissue. Immediate treatment can restore blood flow and significantly reduce the long-term impact of a stroke.
-
It's a call to action. Knowing the signs of a stroke and acting fast is the most crucial step in saving a life and preventing disability.
In the summer of 2021 my husband endured a life changing stroke. I walk with him and our son in honor of his long road to recovery and other survivors who fight for their lives.
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.?
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.?
