Stroke Awareness - Bull's Eye
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in America. Someone suffers a stroke every
45 seconds and there are 700,000 new or recurrent strokes annually. Stroke is also a
leading cause of severe, long-term disability as it can cause paralysis, vision problems,
memory loss and speech/language problems. Tragically, the groups with the highest risk and
incidence of stroke (elderly, African-Americans and men) are also the least knowledgeable
about warning signs and risk factors. Though strokes are commonly thought to only happen
to older people, the truth is that a stroke can strike people of all ages. The campaign,
which began in April 2003, aims to arm the public with the knowledge that a fast reaction
to stroke symptoms is critical in potentially lessening the devastating results of a stroke.
