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.

As a neuroscience researcher working first hand with stroke patients to develop methods to improve their rehabilitation after movement impairment as a result of their stroke, I understand that the specialist support, research and campaigning offered by the Stroke Association 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.
