My team
My Story…
Oh hi, fancy meeting you here! I'm running the Falmouth Road Race one more time with Tedy's Team. Why? It's not because I like running or asking people for money. Those are actually two of my least favorite things... along with nuclear war and carnies.
Anyways... I was fortunate to survive a major stroke back in 2011. When I had it, the hospital told me I had the flu and sent me home untreated. Fortunately, after three days, a friend brought me to another hospital, and I go the care I needed.
So, I'd prefer that not happen to anyone else. So, get a pen and write this down. "The Warning Signs of Stroke: B.E.F.A.S.T - Balance off, Eye sight, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech slurred, Time to call 9-1-1.
Also, we are raising funds for Tedy's Team that will support research into strokes and fund the Comeback Program, which helps stroke survivors make their recovery. Please check out the website and if you can, memorize B.E.F.A.S.T., and make a donation.
With Love and Gratitude,
Wyatt
