A new study shows, whos not getting enough water on any given day. Thats coming up. It is the number one cause of adult disability in the u. S. , but in the majority of cases, stroke is preventable. Thats why its so important to get the word out about warning signs to protect you and your loved one. Well, this weekend thousands of people will make strides for stroke, taking part in an annual 5k walk and run. Toby is the founder and executive director of the Delaware CountyStroke Council. Shes here to talk more about her fundraiser. Thank you for having me here. Its so important to talk about this. Start off by talking about the mission of the Delaware CountyStroke Council. I started the organization back in 1995 after my late doctor, dr. Howard mazer, and the event is named in memory of him, experienced a stroke while he was doing surgery. He was doing an open kidney case. He was a urologist and just collapsed in the operating room. Fortunately, he was able to survive by having medevacd to one of the large philadelphia Stroke Centers at the time. And i really do believe that he survived 18 years poststroke because he had me as his advocate. And i just didnt give up. However, at that time there were no places no organizations to turn to that advocated for stroke patients or caregivers. You went for being an advocate for your husband to really starting this organization to advocate for everyone. Everybody. I just thought everyone needed an advocate and i was going to be that advocate. Talk about the event on sunday because this is so important. This is how we all can participate and support what youre doing. Well, sunday will be our 21st annual dr. Howard mazer stride for stroke although he only passed away six years ago, then we named the event after him. Basically the mission of the Delaware ValleyStroke Council is to raise awareness for stroke to do education, to do screenings and also to let people know the warning signs of stroke and the risk factors for stroke and that 80 of all strokes can be preventable. People know their risk factors. And if they respond appropriately. Theres a window of opportunity that stroke can be reversed. It used to be three hours. Now its up to 4 1 2 hours. With the Newest Technology out there, such as stents and the retriever to release clots, so much has happened. Its all a result of professional education, experimentation on the medical field, but people really are not aware. And i think that only 6 of stroke patients get to a Stroke Center, a designated Stroke Center within the window of opportunity, to take advantage. You have to take advantage of that window of time to make a difference. Lets tell folks again about the event, because this is really how like i said everyone can support what you have been groundbreaking in terms of doing. It is the strides for stroke taking place this sunday strides for stroke june 14th starting at 8 30 in the morning. Its a 5k run walk beginning at 26th street and ben franklin parkway.
