Imagine...
having a cold or stomach flu
and
now you're in intensive care
fighting for your life.

Imagine...
waking up one morning
unable to walk, even stand
and with arms that are
paralyzed.

Imagine...
being totally helpless,
uncertain of recovery.

It could happen to anyone, at any age, anywhere in the world.

It happens every day to men, women, children, babies and pregnant women.
