Karen Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've been asked by Tony Banks from the Stroke Association to promote their annual Life After Stroke Awards for 2014 as nominations are now open. http://www.stroke.org.uk/LASA Do you know someone affected by stroke who’s truly inspirational? Then nominate them for our 2014 awards and help them get the recognition they deserve. All over the UK, there are people who show amazing courage, determination and compassion on a daily basis in an effort to overcome the debilitating effects of stroke. We want you to help us find them. Whether that person is a stroke survivor, carer, professional or volunteer, let them know just how remarkable they are by nominating them for a Life After Stroke Award 2014. Nominate someone online or request a nomination form in the post by emailing lasa@stroke.org.uk or call 0207 566 1540. Nominations close on 28 February 2014. Karren Brady needs you.... BBC’s Apprentice star, businesswoman and football’s first lady, Karren Brady, is urging people to nominate stroke survivors, carers and volunteers in the Stroke Association’s 2014 Life After Stroke Awards (LASA). The 2014 Life After Stroke Awards, which are sponsored by TONI&GUY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, recognise the courage and determination of stroke survivors, and celebrate the commitment and dedication given by carers and volunteers. In 2006, Karren survived a brain aneurysm, which could have led to a stroke. Karren, a long-term supporter of the charity, said: “Stroke remains one of the greatest health challenges of our time. Too many people don’t understand it or ever think it’ll happen to them, yet stroke is closer than you think. The Stroke Association’s Life After Stroke Awards are about celebrating stories of courage, commitment and determination. “As Patron of these brilliant Awards, I’m inviting you to do something special for someone who has shown that there is life after stroke. Nominate a stroke survivor, devoted carer or passionate group of volunteers for a Life After Stroke Award and give them the chance to shine.” There are several award categories and the closing date for nominations is 29 February 2014. Winners are invited to attend a star-studded award ceremony at London’s Dorchester Hotel on 12 June 2013. Details of how to make your nomination are available at www.stroke.org.uk/lasa.
