Arthur strikes back

Severe stroke survivor makes model recovery

When stroke attacked Arthur Pickering, aged just 58, he thought hewould spend the rest of his life in a care home.

And nowonder.

Stroke is the UK’s leading cause of severe adult disability, aswell as our third biggest killer.

But then, Arthur struck back.

With the help and care of the Stroke Association, hewent from being semi-paralysed,

speechless, and unable to grip a tennis ball, to building a devilishly detailed 4’ 6” monster model of theworld’s biggest ferry.

Then he sailed away with first prize at the Blackpool Model Boat Show.

Helping people like Arthur is the work of the Stroke Association - and the very bestway you can help us strike back against stroke is to leave us a gift in your Will.
