Jo joined us from the charity Different Strokes to answer Sunflower wearers' questions and to explain what a stroke is, the signs to look out for, and what action to take, as well as advice about the support available to patients.
Hayette had a stroke at age 32 and has been on a long journey of rehabilitation and recovery; she talks us through the surgeries she had and the everyday things that she has had to relearn through a multitude of therapies.
F.A.S.T
F is face.

T is time.
