Participate In Our 2024 Awareness Campaign
- Help Grow Awareness for Pediatric Stroke by sharing your Rooted in Resilience example.
- What does RESILIENCE means to you or what does resilience looks like in your child?
- For older children, teens, and adults who had a stroke as a child, what is your example of RESILIENCE?
- We invite you to send us one or two sentences, along with a photo and a first name and last initial.
- Please send to info@iapediatricstroke.org
- We will post these throughout the month of May on our social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn). At the end of May we will compile these all together and put them in a video to post on our YouTube channel.
