Survivor Gal

On January 19th, 2008 my life changed in the most unexpected way. At the very tender age of 33, I suffered a stroke. My recovery that followed was a tremendous two year journey that involved re-learning some of the simple day to day tasks that most people take for granted; things like walking, talking, dressing and writing. Tasks, that today, I have (for the most part) mastered and that I most grateful for.​

Besides a second chance at life, I am also grateful for the amazing support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Without their fundraising efforts for further medical research and development into Heart disease and Stroke, I may not have the experienced the same recovery; I may not have even survived. I am extremely proud and honoured to be a Survivor Ambassador and an avid volunteer for the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

I decided to start my own non-profit organization “Survivor Gal 08” in order to raise awareness and support other survivors. I don’t just want to celebrate my life, but to help create more survivors. I also want to show fellow survivors that we don’t have to merely “survive”, that despite our medical disability, we can enjoy life and thrive!

Thank you all for your support! ​
