Why We’re Walking
Up to 30% of people who have a stroke have communication difficulties- and MnCAN helps individuals who have aphasia- a language disorder often caused by a stroke. We want to represent those who have had strokes and have aphasia- and spread education and awareness. Our organization is very passionate about helping stroke survivors and their families participant successfully in life again- we believe in recovery, connection and hope.
Join our Strides for Stroke team in the fight against the long-term impact of stroke. We’re a community of incredible individuals united in a shared mission to support the Minnesota Stroke Association. Stroke affects everyone differently, touching the lives of those who experience it, their families, and everyone they meet. By rallying our family, friends, and supporters from all across Minnesota, we demonstrate the wide-reaching impact of stroke and the strength found in our unity.
Want to Help?
A donation to our team is quick, secure, and guarantees that your gift helps to elevate stroke awareness within our community; funds the critical services and supports offered by the Minnesota Stroke Association; and declares that you stand behind the MSA’s mission and values.
Join Us!
Or, join us at the event! Strides for Stroke is more than fundraising; it’s a statement of hope, solidarity, and commitment to change within Minnesota and beyond. Your financial support is vital in achieving our vision of a community united against stroke, but your presence at the event would really boost everyone’s spirits. So, if you can, join us at one of the three locations. Together, we’re not just making strides; we’re making a difference.

Why I’m Walking
We walked for many years, virtually and in Duluth, with my Dad (Carl Antus) as our team captain. This year, I am donating through MnCAN’s team in support of amazing speech therapists like my friend, Jessica Wald. – Carly Antus Will
