Thank you, Sylvia


The first we knew of Sylvia was when


we received notification of the gift


she’d left us in her Will. Shortly after,


a beautiful story of a much-loved


woman began to unfurl.


Friends remembered Sylvia’s kind-


heart and her wish to help others. She


spent part of her adult-life caring for


her mother, and developed a passion


for medicine. Becoming a medical
secretary was her next step and, in the
course of her career, she discovered
the devastating impact a stroke could
have on people and their families. She
saw that research and treatment were
vastly under-funded, and she decided
to remember the Stroke Association
in her Will.

Sylvia’s gift has helped fund our work
to conquer stroke. She’s supported
research to prevent and treat stroke,
and she’s helped care for survivors.
And that’s something you can do too –
in the same way.

If you would like to learn more about
remembering the Stroke Association
in your Will, please get in touch.
