Tell Your Story!!

Member Story Invitation

For the past twelve years, StrokeNet has been publishing the personal stories of stroke survivors and their caregivers.

Every survivor and caregiver has a unique experience and point of view to offer. StrokeNet gives others, in similar circumstances, the opportunity to learn about your own experience, and how your viewpoint has changed post-stroke.

We've all been there, either as a stroke survivor or as a caregiver. We know what it's like firsthand to be transported, in the blink of an eye, from our normal lives to a life of shattered dreams and an uncertain outlook, with our physical and emotional reality altered forever.
