Lived experience volunteer
Volunteering is my medicine. Helping other stroke survivors keeps me going with my recovery. I am grateful for every day, for the things that I have and for simply being here.

Alan Thompson
Support group leader
People ask me why I volunteer. For me, it's like opening Christmas presents – each person I meet, each story I hear, each little bit of progress made. That joy is its own reward.
