Celebrate National Volunteer Week
April 27th through May 3, 2008

At the American Stroke Foundation , we are lucky to have wonderful volunteers that touch all aspects of our organization. Some of our volunteers work with stroke survivors in our fitness room, run exercise classes, hlep survivors relearn verbal, reading, and math skills, or facilitate support groups. Others help behind the scenes doing data entry, writing brochures, or helping plan and execute or Walk on the Wildside fundraising event.

No matter what role they fill, the American Stroke Foundation's volunteers make it possible for us to fulfill our mission "to empower stroke survivors and their families to overcome ongoing challenges of life after stroke and rejuvenate their lives".

So thank you to all our current volunteers and all those who have helped us in the past. Your dedication is sincerely appreciated.
