MaryAnn Orr was a healthy 32 year old with three children when her life changed one night. While at her sons football team dinner, she started not feeling well but couldn't figure out what was going on until she collapsed on a table. She was having a stroke.
At the time of her stroke, doctors rarely considered a stroke as a possible illness for young healthy women. Because of this, doctors did not identify and start treatment of her condition until more that 7 hours later. Despite this, MaryAnn has made an incredible recovery, and has become an advocate for helping others learn how to identify the signs of a stroke and has even helped pass legislation on how the health care system identifies and treats strokes in young people. This is her incredible story.
