My journey began on March 2, 2007 at the age of 37.  I considered myself to be young, healthy, active and getting married on July 7, 2007.  I had my whole life ahead of me.  I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke which left me without feeling on my left side, vision problems, nerve damage, and the ability to walk. 

With strong will and determination, I armed myself with the knowledge that the mind is very strong and the will power not to let the stroke beat me.  I am fighting back and I am reclaiming myself.

I am 3 years into my journey.

The Reclaiming Ourselves Hope After Stroke 3K Walk on May 8, 2010 at Point Defiance, Owen Beach in Tacoma, WA benefitting National Stroke Association was a great success!  Donations made on this page are still graciously accepted.  All donations go to National Stroke Association.
