Today marks work stroke day.

This year the theme is 'Every minute counts' emphasising the importance of acting fast when noticing a stroke emergency.

Zoe, a We are Undefeatable storyteller, had a stroke which left her with spatial awareness, balance and sensory issues. This then left her having difficulties with normal day-to-day activities.

After being dispatched from hospital she started journaling to help her through the harder days and found support in several community led stroke groups.

She started noticing that when she wasn't active her left side became numb and said that consistent movement played a huge part in enabling her to return to the activities she was once able to do before her stroke like driving, going out with her friends or even just styling her hair to just how she liked it 😊
