Yesterday was a huge day for Becky. After months of planning, creating, and hoping, we finally launched the #HelpBeckySpeak campaign — a global appeal to find the technology and expertise she needs to communicate more fully again.

No pain. Becky lives with pain all over her body — especially in her back. She’s on strong medications to manage it, but long-term use comes with its own challenges and limits…

Imagine being fully conscious, aware of everything happening around you, but unable to move or speak. Your mind is sharp, your thoughts are clear, but your body refuses to respond. This is the reality for individuals living with Locked-In Syndrome (LIS)—a rare and deeply challenging neurological condition.

…the night before the party, everything changed. Becky began to feel unwell at work and called her husband to take her home. What seemed like a severe migraine quickly worsened. Knowing something was seriously wrong, she went to hospital — and within hours, she was diagnosed with a massive stroke.
