NASAM STROKE GAMES 2017

Introduction:
The National Stroke Association of Malaysia (NASAM) is a well-established, non-profit stroke support organisation in Malaysia. NASAM strongly advocates that ‘There is Life after Stroke’ and further inspired stroke survivors by organising the first Stroke Games - a large scale sporting event on March 4, 2017.

Report:
The Games was painstakingly crafted, enabling survivors to compete in various sports, challenging them within the scope of their abilities. Emphasis was on boosting physical and mental health through a stimulating range of modified sporting activities while having fun. Stroke severity, impairments, tolerance levels and safety were highly considered in the planning.

230 stroke survivors aged from 9 to 84 years, from 9 NASAM clubs around Malaysia competed in the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie. A vibrant march-past kicked off the event. Activities required strength, balance, dexterity and eye-hand coordination and included darts, bowling, basketball shoots and baton relay. Through the Games, our stroke survivors became courageous stroke champions - ready to face the world with confidence and fully embrace NASAM‘s message that ‘there is life after stroke’.

Conclusion:
The Stroke Games exemplified that stroke survivors are courageous champions and super-heroes. It had a profound impact on stroke survivors, their families and supporters and served as a reminder for everyone to never give up!
