Did you know that stroke is a "brain attack"? It is caused by - - A blood clot blocking a vein or artery (thrombosis) - A detached blood clot stuck in a narrower blood vessel (embolism) - A ruptured blood vessel in the brain (aneurysm) which causes a lack of oxygen to the area.

A plan creates possibilities. When inclusion is considered from the start, barriers are easier to remove, & participation becomes possible for more people. This week, think about one step you can take today to make someone else's tomorrow more accessible & inclusive.
