Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about a third are likely to make a recovery within one month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation. Stroke has a greater disability impact than any other medical condition. A quarter of a million people are living with long-term disability as a result of stroke in the UK. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;"> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Stroke Association is the only&nbsp;UK wide&nbsp;charity solely concerned with combating stroke in people of all ages. It funds research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation, and helps stroke patients and their families directly through its Life After Stroke Services. These include&nbsp;Information, Advice and Support, Communication Support and&nbsp;Life After Stroke&nbsp;grants.&nbsp;They also campaign, educate and inform to increase knowledge of stroke at all levels of society, and&nbsp;they act as a voice for everyone affected by stroke.
