There is life after stroke — and Janet Yeo has spent 34 years proving it.

At the height of her career as Malaysia's youngest advertising agency MD at 25, Janet suffered a major stroke at age 44. With no information, no stroke-specific rehab, and a doctor who told her "if you don't recover in six months, that's it" — she fought back.

FREEDOM
A stroke can change a life in an instant — but determination can change it again.

Through courage, perseverance, and the will to keep moving forward, stroke survivors are walking again, returning to work, and reclaiming their independence.

This is determination.
This is resilience.
This is 30 Years of Hope.

Changing “I Can’t” to “I CAN”

For 30 years, the National Stroke Association of Malaysia (NASAM) has stood beside every step of that journey. We seek sponsorship or donations to achieve this.

Give Nancy a call at 03-7956 1876 and see how your support can help a stroke survivor achieve their freedom again.

This morning: brisk walk at Taman Merdeka. Then we did what any health-conscious group would do rewarded ourselves with a Nyonya breakfast feast. 🍚🥟

Walked 100 calories. Ate 500. Zero regrets. 😅

Healthy heart, happy tummy. That's our kind of balance.
