United by Purpose, Driven by Change
Stronger Than Stroke was founded in loving memory of Monty Maxwell—a devoted husband, father, mentor, and top mortgage loan officer who empowered families in Sacramento. His legacy inspires our mission to raise awareness, support stroke survivors, and build healthier communities.

July 28, 1968 - January 6, 2023
Our founders and directors are passionate advocates for stroke awareness, prevention, and survivor support.
Together, we’re working to ensure that every individual has access to the tools, resources, and care they need to live a stronger, healthier life.
