WSO is delighted to announce that we will be working with a team of super-heroes to raise awareness of stroke signs as part of our 2021 World Stroke Day campaign.
FAST Heroes
The FAST Heroes team has taken on the mission of supporting World Stroke Day this year, working with the WSO campaign team to recruit children in the battle to defeat the Evil Clot! The FAST Heroes program, developed by partners Boehringer Ingelheim, has created a series of fun activities and resources for children and families that help build community awareness of stroke symptoms and how to respond when you spot the signs of stroke.
The FAST Heroes are animated characters that represent the three key signs of stroke and drives home the importance of knowing the number to call for an ambulance
This year as a campign first a specific toolkit has been developed to help WSO members and stakeholders around the world build a global army of stroke spotters who can help save #Precioustime when it comes to stroke.
