Survivor Author Roundtables at YoungStroke 2016
 
There will be no shortage of great reads during YoungStroke 2016! On Tuesday evening, survivor authors will host roundtable discussions on Tuesday, December 13 between 6-8 pm.
 
White Collar Biker  is a memoir about Rob McPherson's travels to Sturgis, South Dakota on his Harley Davidson Road King. It was a project he began prior to experiencing stroke. Rob will be among several survivor authors facilitating roundtable discussions about their books and related works.  
Other survivor authors and their books include: Brad & Kelly Marsh: Love Stroke: Stroke Recovery and One Young Couples Journey; Thomas G. Brossard, Jr.: Stroke Diary and John Mott, Grace Down Below: When Illness Strikes.

to Support Financial Recovery
   
Stroke imposes financial burdens for many young adults who are often underinsured and lacking long-term disability nest eggs."During YoungStroke 2016, E*TRADE provides much needed navigation for the journey back to wholeness," says Amy Edmunds, YoungStroke Founder.
 
Earlier in the year, Jacksonville Branch Manager Ryan Sewell awarded a YoungStroke2016 registration scholarship to John Mott following a random drawing during YoungStroke's "Be Visible" Rally held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
