European Stroke Awareness Day

・May 9th – European Stroke Awareness Day・

On European Stroke Day we aim to increase awareness for the symptoms and prevention of stroke.

 

 

FAST 4-WARD for STROKE

May 9th is European Stroke Day. To focus on the impact of stroke and create more awareness, several hospitals are organizing the 2nd edition of the free, interactive stroke walk, called FAST4-WARD.

Using the free izi.TRAVEL App participants can navigate the interactive and educational hike at a time and date of their choosing.

Moreover, participants can also take part in a contest for a chance to win exciting prizes! The winner will be chosen by stroke survivor Steven Spillebeen (a.k.a. “Spillie”). To enter the contest, take an original photo in which you portray the FAST test or apply FAST in a creative way during the walk. Send your photo via email to 

FAST4ward@belgianstrokecouncil.be 

before May 2nd 2023, and include your name and phone number
