Stroke survivor Cindy Lopez looks forward to running again and is gearing up to walk the National Stroke Association's Comeback Trail 5K walk/run in Fort Lauderdale on Oct. 8
“It is important for us as stroke survivors to join as a community to show that we are not victims willing to accept the cards that we’ve been dealt in life," says Cindy. “Often times people think that stroke only affects elderly people but that’s just not the case. It’s something that can affect anybody at any time in their life. We need to overcome obstacles no matter how long it takes.”
Join Cindy on the Comeback Trail.
James was training for a marathon and at work was known as “the crazy fit guy who was always talking about races and eating healthy.” Stroke was the farthest thing from his mind but last March he experienced a stroke.
His boss called 9-1-1; he was whisked to a hospital and today continues his road to recovery. His first event back after having his stroke was the National Stroke Association Comeback Trail 5K in Colorado—which he completed 60 days after his stroke.
He has since participated in several other fitness events and says, “I couldn’t have done it without my friends and family who support me.”
