David was a healthy, active high schooler when a brain bleed led to a stroke. After a delayed diagnosis, he spent nearly a month in the hospital fighting to survive. Through months of therapy, David regained his mobility, strength and vision.

Today, he holds a nursing degree after learning from the very nurses who helped save his life.

David’s journey is a powerful reminder of resilience and purpose. His experience fuels his passion to care for others and advocate for stroke awareness among young people.

Do you know a stroke survivor like David who’s turning their experience into impact? We’re looking for our next Survivor Stroke Hero. Learn how you can apply or nominate someone you know at the link in the comments.

Makenzie’s parents say that, while the stroke was one of the most difficult times in their lives, they share her journey to raise awareness and inspire others. Makenzie now dances to support pediatric stroke care and advocates for dancers of all abilities.
