Let’s Make May Purple this Stroke Awareness Month

This May, do something bold, bright and meaningful to support people affected by stroke.

Whether you bake, walk, host or raise awareness – make it purple. Every minute you give and every pound you raise will make a difference.

Every day in May, another 240 people will face the life-changing impact of a stroke.
A stroke can change a life in seconds, leaving survivors unable to walk, speak, or live independently.

What is Stroke Awareness Month?

Stroke Awareness Month takes place every May to raise awareness of the devastating impact of stroke. It also highlights the importance of providing vital support for stroke survivors and those who care for them. This year, we’re asking you to Make May Purple, so we can support more people affected by stroke.
