Change the conversation about stroke this May - NSA

The incredibly wrong approach to talk about stroke. The approach needs to be about how NOTHING is going right in stroke and list a strategy to address all these problems in stroke. Instead we get appeals to raise funds for more useless press releases. Nothing concrete and useful to survivors ever seems to come from here in my opinion. Your fight against stroke is worthless if you don't have a strategy you are following.
The current failures of tPA only working completely 12% of the time. 
The 10% full recovery rate
No publically available stroke protocols.
No fatigue solutions.
No spasticity solutions.
No objective and fast way to diagnose stroke.


Change the conversation about stroke this May
Dear Friend,
Each May, National Stroke Association celebrates National Stroke Awareness Month. This is an entire month set aside for stroke—to educate the public about their personal risk factors, increase awareness of FAST, and celebrate survivorship in the U.S.
We invite you to join us in changing the conversation about stroke this May. Up to 80% of stroke can be prevented. The time is now to share your personal stroke story and ask your friends and family to join you in the fight against stroke. Whether you’re a stroke survivor, caregiver, friend, or family member of a stroke survivor—you have a story to tell.
Please register for the 2015 Act FAST for Stroke Challenge. By sharing your stroke story and raising much needed funds for National Stroke Association, we can increase awareness about stroke and continue to provide FREE resources to those most greatly impacted by stroke.
We need to act fast. And you can help.
It’s easy to get started. Create a personal fundraising Web page and share it with your loved ones. With your help we can make a meaningful difference this National Stroke Awareness Month.
Register now and invite everyone you know. There’s no time to waste.
