This event along with a health fair was planned for stroke survivors along with their family and friends to celebrate life after stroke. Also, to raise awareness through education about stroke and the prevention of stroke. The park was filled with 287 walkers and runners, their family and friends, 130 volunteers and various vendors. We estimate 450-500 people came to this event. We are thrilled at the turnout. Phyllis Weiss, Vice President, SSEEO. Stroke, the Lightning Bolt in Life by Fritz Weiss More than four years ago Phyllis and I just returned from a wonderful vacation in Colorado where our son Justin got engaged. Coming home from vacation was the usual unpacking and getting the house in order. We went to bed expecting to wake up to the normal routine of getting ready for work. I was awakened around 3:30 am by Phyllis thrashing with her left arm trying to wake me and with the look of fear on her face not being able to speak.  Read Full Story Read More Stories Submitted by Survivors and Caregivers Share Your Story with Other Survivors and Caregivers I found the conference call "Putting Your Affairs in Order" very informative.
