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.

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
Our daughter suffered a brain bleed due to a malformed set of veins she was born with. The care she received in response was invaluable. Together, the surgery, intensive care and months of wonderful therapy combined with her courage and determination have made it possible for her to navigate life with the enduring impact of a stroke. Every day our daughter and other members of our community living with the effects of stroke need to be valued and supported. They need practical help to continue what is often a challenging journey which requires daily discipline and courage. – Marita Bujold
