From stroke to symphony: Andrew Stopps inspiring journey

16 Oct 2023

Description

You've heard it often, "A stroke could happen to anyone," and for Andrew Stopps, a dedicated music teacher and consultant, the reality of this statement hit hard one morning. Andrew takes us through his startling journey, from an uneventful morning, struggling to find a cupboard handle, to the alarming realisation that he was suffering from a stroke. Andrew's recovery journey is nothing short of inspiring as he harnesses the power of his passion for music and the arts to find resilience in the face of adversity. Andrew's struggle didn't stop at recovery; he also fought through the frustrations of dealing with New Zealand's healthcare system's limitations as he was forced to look overseas for treatment. Andrew's hopes for the future are as inspiring as his recovery journey. He wants to compose a symphony inspired by his stroke experience, and he also plans to pen a book about his recovery journey in an effort to inspire and support others navigating similar paths. This courageous journey serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life, the strength of the human spirit, and the beauty of resilience.  Learn more about your ad choices.
