A woman's risk of blood clots isn't the same at every stage of life. This October 13, we're recognizing and joining this year's conversation about women's health.

From reproductive health and pregnancy to menopause and beyond, hormonal changes, certain medications, and individual health factors can affect blood clot risk.

But how often are we having these conversations?

Knowing your risk is important, and so is recognizing the warning signs.

Blood clots can develop in deep veins and sometimes travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Clots that block blood flow to the brain can also cause an ischemic stroke.

This World Thrombosis Day, we encourage every woman to ask questions, learn about her personal risk, and feel empowered to advocate for her health.

đź’¬ Have you ever talked with your healthcare professional about blood clot risk?

A day on the golf course, a community coming together, and a special way to honor Felix Reyes. ❤️⛳

For the second year, the Felix Reyes Golf for Stroke Tournament brought family, friends, and supporters together to celebrate Felix's life and love of golf while raising funds for stroke survivors and their families.

A heartfelt thank you to the Reyes family for turning their love for Felix into an opportunity to help others, and to everyone who made this day possible.

We're grateful to be part of something so meaningful. ❤️

Recovery can be deeply emotional, too.

After stroke, it’s not just about physical progress. It’s also about navigating frustration, uncertainty, rest, resilience, and the slow in-between moments that don’t always get talked about.

Taking care of your mental health can look like asking for help, giving yourself permission to pause, adjusting your expectations, and finding your way forward one day at a time.
This World Mental Health Day, we’re honoring the full recovery journey — the good days, the hard days, the pauses, and the progress.

It all belongs on the line.

Sometimes progress looks like one more page đź“–

Reading a bedtime story can seem simple, but after a stroke it can ask a lot: finding the words, understanding what you’re reading, following the story, speaking clearly, staying focused, and having enough energy to make it through to the end.

Getting back to bedtime stories can mean returning to connection, confidence, routine, and a familiar moment with someone you love.

The Back to What Matters collection is here. đź’›

Each piece carries a message inspired by life after stroke — the progress, the pauses, the everyday moments, and the things worth working your way back to.

And your purchase does more than share the message. Proceeds help us support stroke survivors and families facing barriers to recovery, including the cost of outpatient rehabilitation and professional in-home caregiving support. That means helping make physical, occupational, and speech therapy more accessible, while also helping families get the support they need at home.

This is one of my favorite pieces from our Back to What Matters campaign. It’s simple, but it carries so much of what we wanted this campaign to feel like — personal, open to interpretation, and something each of you can make your own.

Sometimes the smallest design ends up holding the most meaning.đź’™

A "back to" from our community đź©·

Sometimes recovery is about the kind of movement most people never have to think twice about. Reacting quickly, trusting your body, and getting where you need to go without hesitation.

It may look like an ordinary moment from the outside, but after stroke, moments like that can represent independence, confidence, and feeling more like yourself again.

Sometimes the moment is the milestone.

On New Year’s Day 2023, Steven’s life changed in an instant.

Nearly four years later, recovery is still a work in progress — but so is the life he continues to build. Steven is back at work, traveling, staying active, and learning to recognize the progress that can be easy to miss when you’re living it every day.

His advice to other stroke survivors: “Celebrate the little victories and document your recovery.”

Back to What Matters is a campaign to honor life after stroke. Its twists, its turns, the ups and downs, and more importantly - the road to getting back to what matters to you.

Stroke recovery is about getting back to the people you love, the routines you miss, the independence you value, and the parts of life that make you feel like yourself again.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing stories, everyday moments, and the meaning behind the line that connects this campaign.

We also created a collection inspired by the realities of life after stroke, with every purchase helping support our work with stroke survivors and families.

What are you working your way back to?

After a stroke, you’re often sent home with a long list of instructions — and a much longer list of questions.

Who do I call?
What does insurance cover?
How do I coordinate all these appointments?
What if we can’t afford the bill?
What are we supposed to do next?
You shouldn’t have to figure all of that out alone.

We’re excited to partner with Baba to connect eligible stroke survivors and caregivers with experienced care advocates who can help navigate the practical side of recovery — from coordinating care and understanding benefits to finding resources and advocating for what you need.

If you have Medicare or Medicare Advantage, this support may already be available to you at little or no cost.

This partnership means a lot to us personally, too. The Stroke Foundation exists because our own family knows how overwhelming life after stroke can be — and how much difference it makes to have someone in your corner.
