May is stroke awareness month here in the UK, I've given a very triggering presentation on strokes to my colleagues this morning to help people recognise the symptoms after having a stroke myself last November. I was one of the lucky third of people to have a stroke to survive without lasting impacts and I'm so so grateful for that.

I want to share this very short guide to stroke symptoms to hopefully help other people to get the immediate help they will need - please, please share tf out of it, this info could save your life or the life of someone you love https://differentstrokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Stroke-Doesnt-Care-About-Your-Age-Know-the-Basics-Online-Guide-.pdf
