This year World Stroke Day on the October 29th, was firmly focused on life after stroke. On social media, in the press and and at 194 events spanning 61 countries, stroke survivors caregivers and professionals got together to raise visibility of stroke, share their experiences of getting #UpAgainAfterStroke and build on the ground political commitment to action on stroke prevention, treatment and support.
Our World Stroke Day campaign aimed to show that a meaningful life after stroke is possible and that with the right care and support people can and do get up again.
We think our members, supporters and partners left no-one in any doubt that the 80 million stroke survivors around the world have the potential to move mountains.
