He says that he considers himself lucky compared to others however, him and his family did struggling mentally following the stroke.

They were directed to Headway Limerick who offer rehabilitation services to stroke survivors in counties Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary, and Michael wants people to know the supports are there:

” the atmosphere is unbelievable, the laughter and whatever they leave their troubles outside and they do the best with what they can.”

“It’s a daunting thought to have to pick up the phone and make that move that first step… I know that… I would advise people out there who are lost and are looking for support… pick up that phone they see beyond your disability.”
