In this Joe Solo Rocks episodes, our host, Joe talks about his new #ChangeTheFaceOfStroke campaign coming up on World Stroke Day, October 29th. Joe and The NeuroNerds will be launching this campaign to bring more awareness of the diversity of stroke survivors. Strokes do not just happen to the elderly. There are many young stroke survivors of all different ages, races and gender. We want to change the face of stroke to help bring more awareness so that everyone knows the signs and preventative measures that can be taken to avoid ever having a stroke. 80% of strokes are preventable. Let’s stop those preventable strokes in their tracks! Stay tuned for our special #ChangeTheFaceOfStroke video coming on World Stroke Day.
