Help Me Raise Funds for Stroke and Heart Disease!

I am participating in the Trillium Spring 5k in support of stroke awareness. This cause is near and dear to me as my mother suffered a stroke when she was 53 years old and had our family known some of the signs and symptoms, we may have had an increased chance of a better outcome. After my experience with my mom's amazing nurses in the hospital post stroke, I was inspired to become a nurse, and have now worked at a stroke center of excellence, Tufts Medical Center, for the past 9 years.

BE FAST is an acronym to help you quickly recognize common signs of a stroke and to take any necessary action by calling for emergency medical services. Other symptoms may include sudden and severe unexplained headache or migraine with no obvious cause, and confusion or trouble understanding things they would normally know.
