Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I feel very strongly about raising awareness of stroke thus helping survivors and their loved ones. My experience of having two strokes, combined with my positive attitude and practical steps to recovery are, people say, eloquently portrayed in my book, where I write about my own emotions and the passionate belief and promise to help others.

"At the onset of my stroke my body began to change yet, strangely, my mind moved into a place of real peace, a place where everyday worries, doubts and concerns were removed. The energy level I reached was so safe and secure that I didn't question it and I was happy to remain. Yet I was experiencing stroke. There was an invisible force talking to me, comforting me and giving me reassurance. I believe I was given a choice: either to continue in this blissful state from which there would be no return, or, return and write about my recovery, helping other stroke survivors and their families. I had never felt the need to write before, but I was now convinced I would be helped; it was a deep conviction. I now have a promise to fulfill; to get this book published and use it to help others. I am alive, I have the gift of life. I know I have been given a second chance to make a difference."
