JOIN THE MOVEMENT. BE THE VOICE. #BEFAST TO STOP STROKE!

I’m alive today because I recognized the signs of a stroke—but even as an ICU Registered Nurse, I still didn’t get to the Emergency Room fast enough. That delay changed my life forever. I live every day with the lasting deficits of a hemorrhagic stroke, and while I cannot undo what happened to me, I can fight to make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else.

That is why I’m launching #fxckStroke.org, a nonprofit dedicated to one mission:

Educate. Empower. Save Lives.

Strokes don’t wait. They don’t discriminate. They strike fast—and the only defense we have is awareness. Too many people miss the early signs. Too many families lose precious minutes. Too many lives are changed forever because someone didn’t know what to look for.

I’ve made progress in my own recovery, but now my focus is on something bigger:

Building a courageous movement to teach every community how to recognize a stroke and act immediately.

Because when it comes to stroke, seconds matter.

Knowledge matters.

YOU matter.

But I cannot launch this life‑saving mission alone.

I need your help.

Your donation—no matter the size—directly fuels public education, outreach, and resources that can prevent the devastation I live with every day. Together, we can build a world where more people recognize the signs, get help faster, and survive with fewer long‑term effects.

Your support helps us:
• Spread #BEFAST stroke‑recognition education
• Provide community training and awareness programs
• Create accessible resources for families and caregivers
• Empower people to act quickly and confidently in an emergency
This nonprofit is more than an organization—it’s a movement. A stand. A promise that we will not let silence, fear, or lack of awareness cost another life.

Please consider donating and joining this mission.

Together, we can change the outcome for countless people.
Together, we can save lives.
Together, we can say #fxckStroke—and mean it.
Thank you for believing in this cause and helping us launch something truly life‑changing.
