When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough. But the brain can adapt. Our specialist support, research and campaigning are only possible with the courage and determination of the stroke community. With more donations and support from you, we can rebuild even more lives.

 My nana suffered a stroke over 10 years ago and sadly lost her life late last year. The help she received was unbelievable. She had to learn how to speak again and after losing the feeling to her right side she had to learn how to use her left for everything. It was a very hard process in her life.

I was always proud of my nanna and thanks to her I chose the career path I'm on now.
