Recently I donated my services to YoungStroke to help them promote a series of Expos they are putting on in South Carolina, which has one of the highest stroke rates in the country.

Stroke Survivor Donates Public Service Announcement

Ralph Preston, young stroke survivor, photographer, and videographer donated production of a public service announcement to promote attendance to YoungStroke's Litchfield Expo on May 21st. The PSA challenges the public's perception of stroke as an elderly affliction by featuring young stroke survivors sharing their stroke experiences. Included are young stroke survivors Larry White, Ann Hamilton, Clifford Brooks, and Marcus Rosenlehner.
