Teenager suffers stroke, finds the will to recover | Stories from the Heart

Will was an active young man. He had just finished 6th grade and was attending summer camp when he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and fell into a coma. His family gathered 'round the hospital bed to wonder if they'd ever get to say goodbye. The doctor came into the room and commanded Will to raise his finger to show if he was still able to respond. This is his story.
Hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke are often underdiagnosed and can affect anyone at any time. Through research, we are fighting to raise awareness and discover new ways to prevent and lessen the impact of stroke, and to help survivors through their recovery journey.
