Different Strokes empowers younger survivors to reclaim their life.
Every year 100,000 people have a stroke and a 1/4 of these people are under the age of 65. That's 25,000 younger people whose lives are changed in an instant.
Stroke is also the single biggest cause of disability in the UK, but it's not always the visible disabilities that stroke survivors have to contend with, debilitating fatigue, cognitive problems and personality changes can also be a lifelong challenge, preventing them from returning to work or bringing up a young family.
Different Strokes empowers younger survivors to reclaim their lives through active peer support, information and exercise.
Different Strokes also support the wider family to get through challenging times with compassion and understanding.
This is why the DS Ashford Kent Support group, are taking on the Different Strokes Fire walk to raise vital funds to support the work of Different Strokes.
