Dear All,

I have recently become aware that it is World Stroke Day on the 29th October 2023…

https://www.world-stroke.org/news-and-blog/news/world-stroke-day-2023-access-the-greaterthan-stroke-campaign-toolkit#:~:text=Starting%20on%201st%20of,alongside%20a%20stroke%20prevention%20message.

I have no idea what to do to promote this and if you click the link you will see they are trying to promote:

This year the World Stroke Day campaign is focused on stroke prevention, and we are leading with the hopeful message that by taking some key actions we can massively reduce our risk of stroke. Audiences are being encouraged to ‘take charge’ by getting informed about and taking steps to manage risks. Specific calls to action include: getting your blood pressure checked, having a health check, getting support to quit smoking and doing what you can to eat healthier and increase physical activity.

Which I think is great.

I’m not sure what to do to help promote this so I have tried to do what I can with my health restrictions and tell all my friends and family and email my football club West Ham’s accessibilty head, who I am friendly with, and say hey - claret and blue is purple - cmon lets get a big screen thing up at half time at our match on the 29th please saying ‘let’s be healthy and stop srrokes’ or something… If someone can pay £20 quid to pay for her son’s 7th bday to be shown on the big screen at half time I will happily pay that for World Stroke Day and I have said the same to Julie. But I doubt I will have to pay anything. She’s cool.

I have also asked my season ticket holder housemate JP to do the same at aston villa.

It’s only a few weeks away!!!

Hope this get’s around!!
