Meghan is friend I met my freshman year in College. She's from Chicago originally and has since gone back as she was lucky enough to actually graduate in less than a decade. In August of 2002 her father suffered a stroke that inevitably changed all of their lives forever. The stroke left her father paralyzed on his right side. He has not since been able to walk and has limited speech ability. Personally touched by the effects of a stroke, Meghan decided to do something about it. She is now raising money for the American Stroke Association. If she can meet her goal of $4,900, she will be running a full marathon on June 19, 2005 as a memeber of the American Stroke Association Train To End Stroke Team. If you have an extra couple of dollars laying around that you might spend on a couple sodas or a bag of chips, please consider helping my friend and her goal of helping millions of people around the world affected by strokes.
