Power To End Stroke
Power To End Stroke is an aggressive education and awareness campaign
that embraces and celebrates the culture, energy, creativity and lifestyles of
Americans. It unites people to help make an impact to reduce the high
incidence of stroke within their communities.
In February 2010, we launched a new initiative called Take 2 To Save 2.
We ask individuals to take two minutes to send health messages to at least
two people you know who are at risk for stroke. To learn more, visit
www.powertoendstroke.org/take2. The American Heart Association has
created special health messages that easily allow you to send them to
people you care about. You can pick a message and send it out in numerous
ways – e-mail, text, telephone call or tweet. You can also donate your
Facebook status for the day to get these great messages out to those you
love. Follow us on Twitter (Power2EndStroke) or become a Facebook Fan
(www.facebook.com/YouHaveThePower).
