Ian Soane

I share my story of becoming hemiplegic and what I have done to regain function, progress, and succeed after a tragedy. I tell relatable stories of events and moments that have been pivotal in my journey, experiences not uncommon in anyone's life.

I have spent years in and around the stroke community as a survivor but also through volunteering and presentations, I know our world intimately. I speak on awareness and prevention to better educate the public, especially as a young stroke survivor.

Stepping outside of myself, I can see how attitude has first-hand influenced my recovery. Through stories and studies, I have presented in numerous capacities to stress its importance to each and every one of us. It is contagious, for better or worse, and the best attitude needs to be shared.
