Chris Guerrero experienced a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 36. As a result of his stroke, he lives with aphasia and the life-changing realities that come with long-term recovery.
Chris is the father of three beautiful children, and his recovery journey has been difficult, complex, and deeply personal.
