So please dig deep and donate now for the Stroke Association.

The Stroke Association believe in the power of research to save lives, prevent stroke and ensure people make the best recovery they can.

Research funded by the Stroke Association has the ultimate aim of making stroke a preventable and treatable disease, and improving the quality of life for people affected by stroke. 

The findings from research are crucial in the search for new ways to:

• prevent a stroke happening 
• find new, or improve existing treatments for those people who have a stroke 
• understand how the brain works and changes after a stroke. 

The evidence about treatments and therapies that comes from research also helps doctors, nurses and other health and social care professionals to convince commissioners to provide appropriate and effective services to help the 150,000 people in the UK who have a stroke each year.

Research into the prevention of stroke enables experts to develop prevention methods that reduce the numbers of people who have a stroke each year.

Please give generously.
