We are officially on the road! Our Stroke Volunteer Mark Batchelor and his incredibly cute co-pilot, Lucy, have kicked off their awareness adventure across the US.

Stop #1 is in the books! Check out Lucy posing like a pro at Crowley's Ridge State Park in Paragould, Arkansas, where they proudly placed our first BEFAST stroke magnet.

Their mission is simple: to spread awareness about the signs of a stroke all the way to New Jersey. We want everyone to know that being FAST (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, Time) saves lives.

Follow along to see where Mark and Lucy takes us next!
