A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time and one in four strokes happen in people of working age.
“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke. There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with stroke, it doesn’t care how fit and healthy I was. It doesn’t care that I’m a dad with a 10-year-old son. A son that needs me.”
