Whilst on her way to  a work meeting in Southend on 4th March my lovely friend Fiona suffered a stroke, and was admitted to Romford hospital.  She’s fit and healthy and this came totally out of the blue. 6 months on and Fi’s back at work, still undergoing treatment and physio, it’s been a tough road, but she’s getting there!

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.
