1 in every 6 will suffer a stroke
By Events Volunteer 1
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
