World Stroke Day: October 29th 2012

Stroke Solidarity String

Join the global fight against stroke
One in every six people in the world will have a stroke. In the UK, someone has a stroke every five minutes. Stroke can happen to anyone, at any time. And it is devastating.
Saving millions of lives and preventing lifetimes of severe disability start with awareness. The Stroke Solidarity String is the new symbol of global stroke awareness.
The Stroke Solidarity String is a blue string that wraps around your wrist three times to form a bracelet. The string will make stroke visible to the general public and help to unify the stroke community. It says to people “if stroke is in your family, join ours”.
The Stroke Association is launching the Stroke Solidarity String on 29 October 2012 to mark World Stroke Day. Be the first to champion beating this killer disease that’s been ignored for too long and get your Stroke Solidarity String now.
Wear it, show it, share it.
