Stroke Awareness

Mrs. Toni Dagnall is a parent in our school. She had a stroke in March 08 and a second in May 08 at age 28. Only because her husband, Gary recognised the signs (F.A.S.T) and dialed 999, the hospital was able to reverse some of the damage and she came through the other side.

The following link gives important about information strokes, the impact they can have on peoples lives and how the early signs can be recognised - potentially saving lives.

http://vimeo.com/781360 more detailed clip about what to expect and accounts from people of varied ages. Approx 9 minutes.

The more people that see this advertisement the better, even if it only saves one life it will be worth it. A stroke can happen to anyone of any age, it’s not just old people.
