STORIES
You may not know this
But you have friends as far south as South Africa and as far north as Iceland with Greece, Canada, Bulgaria and many others in between. The thing that connects us all is the love we have for our Grandheroes and the mission to protect them from the evil clot that causes strokes. I hope their stories inspire you as much as they do us.
