Meet Our Volunteers
Fraser – Stroke Survivor
“I was 45 when I had my stroke in October 2024. I live in Glasgow with my wife and our two children, and before my stroke life was pretty normal. I worked full-time as a freelance website developer, as much as you can when you’ve got two kids in primary school. Sport has always been a big part of my life. I played cricket for the same club I’ve been with since I was a kid, enjoyed football, and spent just as much time watching sport as playing it.
There were absolutely no warning signs.”

Helena – Stroke Survivor
“I was 59 when I had my stroke in January 2024. It was an ischaemic stroke caused by a clot on the right-hand side of my brain.
Looking back, there was one little sign that something wasn’t right. I was playing hockey on the Saturday and Sunday before my stroke and during one of the games my eyesight went a bit funny. I couldn’t see the ball properly and everything was slightly blurred. At the time I didn’t think anything of it. I just put it down to one of those things, maybe a migraine coming on.”
