DO you know someone who has had a stroke or cares for someone whose life has been turned upside down by the effects of a stroke?
Nominations are now being taken for The Stroke Association's annual Life After Stroke Awards.
The awards are held each year and recognise the extraordinary courage that has been shown by people of all ages who have had a stroke, and also those who care for them.
There are seven categories: three for courage, one for art work, one for community work, one for carers, and one for Stroke Association volunteers. All those nominated receive a certificate of recognition and the award winners will attend a ceremony luncheon, which is supported by a host of celebrities, in London on July 16, 2003.
If you would like to nominate someone, please apply for a "Life After Stroke Awards Form" from The Stroke Association, Northampton Resource Centre, 61-69 Derngate, Northampton NN1 1HD, or call 01604 623 919. The closing date for nominations is Friday, March 21, 2003.
