Sylvia’s friends remembered her for her kind heart, and her strong
desire to help others. Even though she suffered lifelong poor health,
while also caring for her critically ill mother.

But Sylvia did more than put on a brave face: she struck back against
illness by working as a medical secretary, and following medical
advances keenly. That’s how she found out that with conditions such
as stroke, the right treatment and back-up can make all the
difference when given promptly.

So it’s not surprising Sylvia decided thatoneofthebestthingsshe

Today, we take time to remember her. Because Sylvia is still playing
an important part in helping us create a future free of stroke, and
turn around the lives of thousands of stroke survivors each year.
