About the Foundation

We seek contributions for the purpose of educating the public on the signs and risks of a stroke and how to prevent them. We also provide information on cardiovascular disease, which is a leading cause of death along with strokes.

The Foundation will market and distribute it's booklets ACT FAST, SAVE LIVES - An Illustrated Stroke Survival Guide and Broken Trust - When cries for help are not heard, throughout the community and on its website, and offer educational training sessions for groups or facilities in person or via Zoom.

Today you may be happy, enjoying life, feeling good and having a great day. But, imagine tomorrow waking up and not be able to swallow or talk. No warning. You cannot ask for help.
