It's called motivation and not wanting to be a victim

Lucille Markie is a key member of the Integrated Neurological Rehabilitation Foundation in Henderson.

She is calling on young people with neurological conditions to attend a series of demonstrations to see what help and support is available to them.

"There are a lot of younger people like me in the community but they often don't want to attend groups because strokes can be preconceived as an older generation disability."
