Delta stroke survivor Quentin Methot accepted a $3,000 cheque from the Delta Firefighters Charitable Foundation on behalf of Delta Stroke Recovery earlier this week.
Methot is a retired firefighter and is eight years post stroke. He now instructs people on emergency preparedness with a PowerPoint presentation designed for the disabled and seniors.
Methot gives his presentation to any group and asks for a donation in appreciation to Delta Stroke Recovery to help maintain its programs.
Although Delta Stroke Recovery is a volunteer driven program, professionals are paid to lead the speech communications and exercise sessions.
The group also offers music therapy and psychological support for stroke survivors.
The cheque from the Delta Firefighters Charitable Foundation will be applied to these programs.
