Letter: Make May ‘purple’ and help stroke survivors - do something bold, bright and meaningful
A letter from Cheryl Fergison:
Every day throughout May, another 240 people will wake up to the life-changing impact of a stroke.
It’s a traumatic, life-changing event that robs survivors and their families of the life they knew.
This May marks the one-year anniversary of my own stroke. I was just 59 when I was rushed to hospital after my son recognised my symptoms.
The last year has been very hard, but with the support of my son and the Stroke Association I have been able to start getting back to a new normal.
This is why I am delighted to be supporting the Stroke Association’s Make May Purple campaign.
It challenges supporters to do something bold, bright and meaningful to support the 1.4 million people affected by stroke in the UK.
Whether you bake, walk, host an event or quiz night or raise awareness – make it purple-themed.
