Eric AndrewsStroke survivor · Founder · Advocate
A changed perspective.
A continuing purpose.
Before his stroke, Eric was an over-the-road hazmat truck driver. His life changed, and so did his perspective. Today, he shares his lived experience to encourage other survivors and promote stroke awareness and prevention.
Before his own stroke, Eric believed, “Strokes only happen to older people.” He shares his story to challenge that same belief in others and encourage people to take stroke prevention seriously, even when they feel too young to be at risk.
Through THE NEXT CHAPTER resource group at Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS) and his YouTube channel, A STROKE OF MY PERSPECTIVE, Eric makes room for honest conversations about life after stroke—including the topics that can be difficult to discuss.
With his wife’s support behind the scenes, he is building a foundation focused on helping survivors and families face what comes next with connection and purpose.
“You can’t start the next chapter if you keep re-reading the last one.”
