Raoul's story
By Stroke Aotearoa
When Raoul experienced a stroke, his mother saved his life by recognising the signs and getting help immediately.
Raoul experienced a stroke in the morning on his way to work a few years ago. He collapsed outside his car. His mum, who is a nurse, recognised the signs and called for help immediately. It has been a longer recovery for him with a number of long-term effects but without the FAST action from his mother, he would likely not be here today.
