Fight the Stroke Foundation
FightTheStroke exists to ensure a better future to young stroke survivors with a disability of Cerebral Palsy, and their families.
GUIDED BY THE BELIEF THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD BE EQUAL AT BIRTH, FIGHTTHESTROKE WANTS TO ENSURE A BETTER FUTURE FOR YOUNG STROKE SURVIVORS, CHILDREN WITH A DISABILITY OF CEREBRAL PALSY AND THEIR FAMILIES.
FightTheStroke exists to answer to the need for knowledge and support for families impacted by the management of a young stroke survivor and with a disability of Cerebral Palsy, to educate to the awareness that children, even those not yet born, can be affected by potentially disabling brain damages; to inspire the new generations and encourage research and adoption of 'disruptive' therapies.
Because an accident at birth should not dictate the future of these children.
