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.

Some dear friends of mine, Nikki, Doug and Oscar Evans are going through a tough time after Doug suffered with a stroke earlier this year. Nikki is one of the strongest people I know and I felt that this is one of the ways I could support her and the family. Please give generously.
