Carol Lynam & Virginia Ely discuss support options for those impacted by strokes

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot, or bursts. If the blood flow can’t reach the region of the brain that controls a particular body function, then that part of the body will not work as it should.

They also formed a series of support groups to help those impacted by stokes – both individuals, and their families.
