Heart disease and stroke kill more people than cancer, suicide and road deaths combined.Around 10,000 people will have a stroke in Ireland this year. Over 2,000 will die and thousands more will be left disabled. But a significant proportion of this death and disability is avoidable. By creating awareness about stroke we hope to lower these rates and with your help this will be possible.
