A couple of possibilities:

1. Design a Brain Experiment Competition

The Dana Foundation is holding a competition for high school students. Talk your teacher into this, they have to submit it. So if you have one or a grandchild of that age have them put together a proposal. You should be able to come up with ideas, if you can't email me and I'll propose one of the dozens percolating. By Jan. 19 so start your brains. Lets flood them with stroke research ideas.

2. What’s Your Health Story?

Found from the 33charts blogger, lets video our health story, add it to this site and see if we can't overwhelm it with stroke stories. Somehow we have to make stroke survivors visible if we ever expect to get the medical establishment to focus on stroke rehabilitation needs.

3. 2012 Neuro Film Festival

http://patients.aan.com/go/about/neurofilmfestival

The American Academy of Neurology Foundation is calling on all neurology patients, caregivers and others to submit a short video to its 2012 Neuro Film Festival, telling their story about why more research is needed into finding cures for brain disorders. Winners could win up to $1,000 and a trip to New Orleans. The deadline to enter is January 31, 2012.

Now in its third year, the Neuro Film Festival aims to raise awareness about the need to donate money for research into the prevention, treatment and cure of the brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, autism, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. In 2011, more than 100 films were submitted and more than 100,000 votes cast.

Come on: Do something for the greater stroke community
