We know there are thousands of stories like these - thats why we want to say “Thanks” to all of you for “Giving” your time and sharing your lives with us.
You can’t spell CURE without U! Thank you for all you do to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
YOU’RE THE CURE!!!
Read Stevie Nelson's story below:
Stevie K. Nelson was a healthy 35-year-old, working full-time in the Army Reserve, when he suffered a devastating hemorrhagic stroke. Stevie fought back and today he is one of the most dedicated volunteers raising awareness for Power To End Stroke. He was honored nationally at the Power To End Stroke Awards in Atlanta, Georgia in 2007 by the American Stroke Association for his passion.Stevie is currently the volunteer stroke service coordinator with Courage Center in Golden Valley, where he is responsible for facilitating groups for stroke survivors, peer mentorship, and educating families.
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty announced in October Stevie’s appointment to the Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities (MGCDD) to complete a three-year term that expires on Jan. 3, 2011.
As an advocate for You're the Cure, Stevie also does his part to encourage everyone to contact their lawmakers about stroke issues.
We celebrate Stevie’s appointment by the governor and thank him for his service as a beloved volunteer of the American Heart Association.
