The second annual Stronger Than a Stroke Fun Run, hosted by stroke survivor Jason Pryor and his family, was held on Saturday, May 11, in Olive Branch City Park. All proceeds from the event were donated to Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation to provide support for the Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto Inpatient Rehab department.
In 2023, Jason spent nine days recovering from a stroke at Baptist DeSoto. He was so touched by the compassionate care he received, he decided to give back and raise awareness about strokes. In two years, the run has raised more than $4,000 to provide equipment and educational materials for stroke survivors.
