I spent my youth singing in choirs and I love the idea that in a choir, each individual can add their voice to all the other individual voices, each person sharing what they have to give, to create something magnificent that cannot be created alone. 

As part of their pediatric stroke awareness-raising campaign this year, the International Alliance for Pediatric Stroke (IAPS) is publishing stories of children whose diagnosis of stroke was delayed. Today, I am happy to have our experience added to the diverse and touching stories you can read about on the IAPS website as part of this initiative. 

As in a choir, our voices and backgrounds can be vastly different, but by joining together, something magnificent is being created, which cannot be created alone.
