Now, she has successfully regained her ability to speak, read and has overcome the paralysis. Nancie now enjoys travel and spending time with her daughters. She leads their Brownie and Daisy troops and enjoys taking them to gymnastics. In her spare time, she tells other stroke survivors that life does continue after a stroke. She is an advocate for stroke research and development.
Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States.
The devastating effects of stroke are often permanent because dead brain cells do not recover. If you can help this cause by making a tax-deductible donation, your gift will be an investment into the future of all stroke patients. I am running hundreds of miles between now and June to prepare for the 26.2-mile Marathon, which I will run in honor of all stroke patients now and in the future.
