The FAST Heroes campaign was conceptu-
alised by the Department of Education and
Social Policy at the University of Macedonia
in Europe. The campaign’s implemen-
tation in South Africa is made possible
through the support of the Angels Initiative
by Boehringer Ingelheim. The Heart and
Stroke Foundation South Africa (HSFSA), a
non-profit organisation, is the chosen local
partner for this initiative.
Renathe van der Merwe, the national
coordinator for Fast Heroes, says: “With
global stroke figures on the rise, recognis-
ing stroke symptoms and knowing how to
respond are vital life skills. Children serve
as exceptional messengers for disseminat-
ing this crucial message to adults around
them. I extend a challenge to all schools
to join forces; together we can make a
transformative difference and save lives,
one grandparent at a time!”

Keep an eye on our social media
pages to find out when our next
webinar will be hosted. Schools can

tion to FAST Heroes.
