Happy Birthday Mum 💜 I think she likes her surprise 🥹☺️💜 This year is a special one! 5th of July will be mum's 20 year stroke anniversary, and we will celebrate in style 😎 Travel and concerts can be more tricky after #stroke and with #Aphasia but definitely possible ☺️ Carly💜

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs. Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better. *Cardiovascular disease 👇

If you haven't met Jan before, here she is explaining #Aphasia in her own words. This video has been seen thousands of times on other platforms💜Jan had a #stroke 20yrs ago when she was just 46. For the 1st year post stroke she had no words at all. She is very skilled at using #TotalCommunication 💜
