💙 Today is World Stroke Day 💙

Stroke awareness can save lives. Knowing the warning signs and acting FAST can make all the difference.

Remember B.E. F.A.S.T. to recognize a possible stroke:

🅱️ Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination.

👁️ Eyes: Sudden vision changes in one or both eyes.

😊 Face: One side of the face droops when smiling.

💪 Arms: One arm is weak or drifts downward when raised.

🗣️ Speech: Speech is slurred or difficult to understand.

⏰ Time: Call 911 immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. Every second counts!

This World Stroke Day, let’s raise awareness about prevention, recognize the warning signs, and support stroke survivors and their families. Share this information to help spread awareness and potentially save a life! 💚

Because of supporters like Sheltering Arms Institute, more individuals affected by brain injury can experience the friendships, adventures, laughter, and sense of community that make Camp Bruce McCoy so special.
