Robert’s story

The stroke affected me physically, but it affected my family mentally. Now we can finally look forward to the future.

What happened

On 24 September 2014, Robert’s life changed in an instant. After suffering a stroke that was initially mistaken for migraines, he lost much more than his ability to work. With the support of his wife Kate, he faced the challenges of recovery and rebuilding family life.
