How to Start Running with Foot Drop After Stroke | Donna Campisi - EP 28 (2020)

Exercise for stroke and stroke recovery.

Getting back to running after stroke with foot drop was not really something on Donna's mind until her early 40's and she especially never thought she would be running a marathon.

At 7 years old, Donna survived a stroke (and other serious complications) and doctors said she would never walk or talk again.

Donna loves to turn her BIG scary dreams into a REALITY taking many baby steps and training to eventually run the full Melbourne Marathon

It all started in 2012, where she set her own challenge: a campaign called ‘Run Donna Run.’ She planned to go from being able to run ONLY 30 wobbly steps in November 2012, to completing a marathon in October the following year.
