It’s time for another update on my progress. We hit the double digits. How exciting! We are walking over 10 miles now. The surprising thing is that I can do that and feel fine. However, we met to do some exercises, sprints and timed miles and the next day, for the first time, I was sore. J I’m happy and relieved to say that I finally got a room in Santa Barbara for the half-marathon. My walking is getting faster, but I was slow to take care of this so I’m relieved I found a room. I’m looking forward to crossing that finish line and spending a weekend with my husband.
Once again, thank you to all of you for supporting my efforts on behalf of the American Stroke Association. I appreciate your contributions to this worthy cause and am honored to compete in this event in the name of your friends or loved ones who have been affected by stroke. Though the race is on May 9th, I am able to take contributions until the beginning of June.
I’m providing you with Stroke information again so you can share it with let your friends, family, colleagues and business connections. This knowledge can help stop the depilating effects of Stroke.

Someone suffers a stroke every 45 seconds and someone dies of one every 3.1 minutes
29 percent of people who have strokes are under age 65
Strokes are the Number 1 leading cause of adult disability
Strokes are the 3rd leading cause of death in America
Twice as many women die from stroke as they do from breast cancer
African Americans have higher rates for stroke than any other racial or ethnic group in the U.S.
The good news is that with proper education and action, we can reduce our risk of stroke, disability and death.
Warning signs of stroke:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
This simple test will help you to detect stroke symptoms and act FAST .
F = FACE Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A = ARM Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S = SPEECH Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
T = TIME If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1 or get to the nearest hospital.
It's very important to take immediate action. Medication given within three hours of the start of symptoms can reduce long-term disability for the most common types of stroke.
Please join me in reaching the finish line of my fundraising goal and helping to end stroke!
