Faces of Stroke℠ aims to bring attention to the personal side of stroke and educate about important stroke facts through personal stories.

Share your story on video

Now, we invite you to submit your story on video. Your video will become part of Faces of Stroke Stories Video Playlist, and the most popular videos will be featured on our website and through social media and email. Submitting a video is as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Create a video. We recommend you keep your video to 1 minute or less.
2. Upload your video to YouTube.
3. Email your video to National Stroke Association at Faces@stroke.org.

Get your story featured! Here’s how it works:

• Videos sent to Faces@stroke.org between now and Jan. 31, 2013, will be added to our Faces of Stroke Stories Video Playlist.
• We will periodically promote the playlist and encourage people to “like” a video to vote it as their favorite.
• The video with the most “likes” on Feb. 1, 2013, will be featured in a special email, highlighted on www.stroke.org and shared on National Stroke Association’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
