Thank you for the amazing support you've already given to stroke survivors. You're part of a network of people across the UK who understand the difference research makes for stroke survivors and their families.

Because of research funded by supporters like you, more people now survive stroke than ever before. But there is more to do. Every five minutes, someone in the UK has a stroke. Stroke continues to devastate lives, leaving people unable to walk, talk or even smile. 

That's why we’re asking you to support stroke research today. By strengthening our numbers, and expanding our investment in research, we can form a powerful movement that can and will help people rebuild their lives after stroke. With your support, stroke researchers could achieve the next big breakthrough.

Dr Grant Mair's research

Right now, we’re funding researcher Dr Mair who is testing a clock tool for CT scans that will help doctors estimate when a patient’s stroke began. Knowing this information is vital because doctors then have the option of giving time-critical treatments like thrombectomy. Dr Mair is hopeful that the CT clock tool could be used in both advanced stroke units and general hospitals across the world. And his research could improve the outcome for thousands of stroke survivors each year.

Your support could help transform stroke treatments for people like Annabel. She says, “Three years on, I know that had my stroke been identified earlier in hospital, I could have received thrombolysis. It’s so important that we develop ways to identify and treat stroke as soon as possible. Before lasting damage sets in. I’m living proof of that." Watch the video to see how the CT clock tool could change the lives of stroke survivors. 

Support stroke research today and help make more discoveries that change the lives of people like Annabel.
