Work Hard. Believe. Pass It On. - Gary Lewis' Interview - Part Two

"When we let each other in, we help each other." Gary knew this as a runner and a coach. A stroke in 2020 taught him what it really means. Gary's story is about connection — neighbors, coaches, roommates, therapists, and fellow survivors who showed up. Now Gary is the one showing up for others, sitting with fellow stroke survivors, and passing on exactly what was given to him. Community Conversation Prompt:Who believed in you before you believed in yourself?  How are you passing that on now?Guest's Mentioned Resources:Champion the Challenges - Golf4LifeO'Connor Hospital Therapy ServicesSanta Clara Valley Medical Center San Jose State University's Occupational Therapy ClinicThis episode was presented in partnership with Santa Clara County’s Stroke Awareness Foundation — because through education and awareness, we can save lives and improve the health of our diverse community.
