Part of Something Greater - Chris Wilder's Story

This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke we spotlight guest Chris Wilder from Los Gatos, CA.  Chris learned to play the guitar in his teens.  In addition to his passion and diligent work ethic, he credits his fellow musicians as teachers and co-creators.  He learned at a young age what it feels like to work with others toward a common goal.  Chris has dedicated much of his professional life to non-profit organizations and was the Executive Director of the Valley Health Foundation in Silicon Valley when he suffered a stroke in 2021.  He now applies his life-lessons to stroke recovery.  Throughout his story, Chris discusses the importance of facing difficulties, connecting with supportive friends, and dedicating time to a purpose.  His story is entitled, “Part of Something Greater.”Chris' Suggested Resources:Stroke Awareness FoundationValley Medical FoundationValley Medical CenterLegally BlueSan Jose State University Occupational Therapy ProgramGolf 4 Life: Balancing Life After StrokeHeadspace Meditation App Support a Stroke Survivor:Your gift sponsors a stroke survivor through our seven-week reflective story crafting journey.👉 Donate at beyondstillness.orgBeyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke is a nonprofit that empowers stroke survivors to articulate and publicly share their stories of wisdom, purpose, connection, and hope.Follow us: Instagram · Facebook · YouTube · beyondstillness.org#BeyondStillness #StrokeRecovery #StrokeSurvivor #StrokeStories #StrokeAwareness #Storytelling #StrokeSupport #Recovery #Resilience #Hope #Transformation #LifeAfterStroke #Inspiration #NarrativeIdentity #StorytellingHeals #RewritingMyStory #IdentityAfterStroke #PostTraumaticGrowth
