The Stroke Pledge:
Im real. Im strong. Im proud. But Im at risk for stroke.
The American Stroke Association is ready to talk to me about what matters to me.
They can meet me where I am to make positive lifestyle changes.
They can make a positive impact on me and my legacy.
I pledge…
To not just survive but thrive. I will learn how to live stronger and longer for me, my family, and my community. I will join the movement to prevent and overcome stroke.
I will call 9-1-1 immediately if I or someone I know experience these signs of stroke:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Call 1-888-4-STROKE or visit www.StrokeAssociation.org/power for more information.
