SIR – I was delighted to present one of the Stroke Association’s Life After Stroke Awards last year.
The awards not only recognise the courage and determination people have in the face of such a devastating condition, but that of carers and volunteers too.
An estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year and they change people’s lives in an instant – affecting them physically, mentally and emotionally forever.
The chances are you already know somebody who has had a stroke and demonstrated outstanding bravery and determination in rebuilding their life.
If you do, why not nominate them, a carer or volunteer for a 2010 Life After Stroke Award?
The closing date for this year’s award nominations is February 26, 2010.
For more information on the awards or to download nomination forms, visit stroke.org.uk/ lasa, or e-mail lasa@stroke.org.uk, or telephone (01604) 687720.
Bruce Forsyth, CBE, on behalf of The Stroke Association, Stroke House, City Road, London
