Allen

59 years old and a proud father of 5 girls.

Suffered a left hemisphere stroke in 2011 whilst running home from work in the city where he was working as head of institutional sales at Barclays Capital.

As a result, his speech has been affected and he has limited movement on the right side of his body. This includes not being able to use his right hand which has been difficult for him as he is right-handed.

He works hard at live well twice weekly, completing 1 hour PT sessions. He also attends his local gym once a week. He does this to improve movement on the right side of his body.

Although he can understand most of what he hears, he has trouble verbally communicating and reading or writing.

He’s very independent and does not let difficulties get in the way of stopping him from trying new things.
