Stroke Stories

In the UK, there are more than 100,000 strokes every year. That’s one stroke every 5 minutes. Around the world there are as many as 15 million people suffering from the illness every year.

It is usually sudden and can be a devastating illness – and so on the Stroke Stories podcast, we’ve been seeking out inspiring stories of stroke survivors.


We hear their stories about their struggles, what drove them forward, and how they look back on their stroke now they're on the road to recovery. So join us in hearing these inspirational stories of strength, determination, and progress against all the odds.
