Deans' stroke musings: 100 Days, 100 Ways to Support Parkinson's Research

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

100 Days, 100 Ways to Support Parkinson's Research

If we had anything approaching a great stroke association something like this would be well known in the stroke world. But alas, we have press releases, not research. Big f*cking whoopee.

Dear Friend,

Only 100 days remain in 2014. With fall in full swing and the holidays just around the corner, the countdown is on to make the most of this year.

Today, Team Fox announces the launch of 100 Days, 100 Ways to showcase the hundreds of ways our community is helping speed a cure for Parkinson’s disease. With 100% of Team Fox proceeds going directly to research programs through the end of 2014, this group is making a real impact on the countless lives touched by Parkinson’s. And we want you to roll up your sleeves and be part of it!

Are you ready to join us? Whether you GET MOVING by participating in a local Turkey Trot 5K, JOIN IN by organizing a dress-down-day at work, or INSPIRE OTHERS by asking friends and family for donations in a holiday card insert, there are countless ways — big and small — to sprint to the finish of 2014 and raise funds and awareness through these last 100 days. Share photos of your fundraising efforts online using #TF100DAYS and we’ll post our favorite pix on the 100 Days, 100 Ways homepage.

Need inspiration? Next Tuesday, September 30, we are hosting an informational webinar to suggest more ideas, provide support and help get you started. Register today, and then share our campaign with friends and family online to inspire others to make their contribution towards Parkinson’s research this year.

Let's finish the year strong!
