1 in every 6 will suffer a stroke

The World Stroke Organisation (WSO) is calling for action to address the silent stroke epidemic in the second year of its ‘1 in 6’ campaign.

The ‘1 in 6’ theme was selected to highlight the fact that one in six people worldwide will have a stroke in their lifetime.

Action on Stroke month 2012

May 2012 is The Stroke Association’s first Action on Stroke month. There is hope for a better life after stroke but we need to reach out to many more stroke survivors and their carers to let them know that The Stroke Association is there for them. Everyone can help, whether it’s participating in an event or simply wearing a badge to raise awareness.

Sign up today and they will send you updates and news as things progress.

Call 0207 566 0300 or email strokemonth@stroke.org.uk
