I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
Both of my parents had a stroke, significant enough to impact their day to day life. It's been challenging and overnight, their lives were never the same.
When my dad had a stroke, he lost all ability on his left side and went from walking everything to extreme weakness on his left side including drop foot.
When my mom had a stroke, she had been caring for my dad. Her 2nd stroke led to her speech being impaired.
