You're already off to a great start because it's Chooseday!
We're highlighting World Stroke Day on October 29th. It’s estimated more than 27,400 Australians will have a stroke for the first time this year, that’s one stroke every 19 minutes. A survey by The Stroke Foundation found that 40% of Australians could not name any of the three most common signs of a stroke. These signs are called F.A.S.T - Face (facial droop), Arms (inability to lift arms), Speech (slurred speech) and Time (Time to call 000). A stroke is always a medical emergency and when it happens, there is no time to lose. Around 1.9 million brain cells can die every minute. Find out here how to take immediate action if you or anyone else you think may experience a stroke.
