What are the moments or milestones that are most precious to you since your stroke?

Yvonne Denehey

Being able to drive again recently has been a big step in my independence. Being present for all the important moments in our children’s lives.

Melissa Cowie

Having my children, getting married and graduating uni.

Maree Ecomap

Having a shower at home without bursting in to tears as it was so difficult to do in the early days. Being able to drive again, although I had to give up my manual car and move to an automatic for the first time ever. Being able to bend my leg after not being able to for nearly three years. Feeling the love of my adult children sounds a bit soppy but oh my goodness, they were and are still so supportive

Duncan Mitchell

Getting back to work was a big milestobe, one which my theraphy in Hospital and as an outpatient where all the focus went, then after getting back and travelling with work again even winning awards I was made redundant, in it's own way that was a major negative milestone!

Stacey Leigh

Every time our son starts something new… a new sport, a new class, or making new friends. First stroke when he was 5 and recurrent strokes this year at 8. Every single step is very emotional

Garry Preston

Finishing Geelong Ironman 70.3 Triathlon in February 2020.

Alanna Crew

Being able to write again, and having the energy to stay up late and put my children to bed. I remember at the start having to to be in bed at 6.

It's taught me to enjoy every moment

Lauren Bickley

My husbands Shaun Bickley was being able to say our children’s names again

Robyn Luxton

Walking by myself without any aids was brilliant and getting my licence back was awesome but putting my bra on and clipping it up for the first time by myself was (to me) the best thing ever, I was soo proud of myself
