Each year, the Minnesota Stroke Association Strides for Stroke event celebrates survivors, unites the stroke community, and supports Minnesotans affected by stroke.<\/p>\n<h3>About Strides for Stroke<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/..\/images\/S4S-Montage.jpg\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"3\" width=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>Strides for Stroke is more than a walk; it&#8217;s a powerful statement of solidarity, hope, and commitment to change. Whether you&#8217;re a survivor, a caregiver, or a supporter, your participation helps raise crucial awareness and funds for programs that make a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which venue you choose, our mission remains the same &#8211; to unite the Minnesota stroke community and support the vital services provided by the Minnesota Stroke Association. Your participation, whether in-person or online, is invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s stride together towards a future where every stroke is treated promptly, and where stroke rates drop year after year. Put on your walking shoes and join us in making Strides for Stroke!<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p>Thank you to all those who joined us in this year's Strides for Stroke. It was a beautiful Spring Day and it was great to see so many new faces as well as those of you who have walked with us in past events.\n\n\nWhile the event may be over, donations are still being taken! Each and every donation you, your friends, your family makes helps us reach towards our $25,000 ultimate goal this year. Make your donation below to make your mark by helping those who have had a stroke, their family, friends and co-workers. Donate today, won't you?<\/p>\n\n--><\/p>\n<h4>Fun Fact: Since 2010&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p>More than 7,750 walkers have joined us and have raised over $500,000 in donations and sponsorships!<\/p>\n<h3>Register Today!<\/h3>\n<p>Fill out our Registration Form below to create a team, join a team, or walk as an individual.
