When stroke strikes, minutes matter.   Today we are launching our F.A.S.T. campaign to raise awareness of the signs of stroke and the actions to take if someone has one. F.A.S.T. stands for Face, Arms, Speech and Time.  irishheart.ie/campaigns/fast/

I had the honour today of speaking at Stroke Europe Members Meeting in Rome explaining my #LifeAfterStroke journey + the massive impact Irish Heart Foundation has made on my recovery. It was brilliant to meet so many amazing people from other stroke support services across Europe.

Last Fri Irish Heart Foundation held their #volunteer Conference in Meta where I received 2 awards! Advocating for better services for #strokesurvivors upon discharge from hospital is very important to me. To get recognition from IHF who provide me with so much #support is very special
