In recognition of American Stroke Month in May, Pilot is raising funds for the American Heart Association’s stroke prevention and education programs. From April 30-May 21, customers can round up their purchases during checkout at participating Pilot, Flying J and One9 Travel Center locations nationwide, the retailer said.
Pilot is also highlighting education about recognizing the signs of a stroke and acting quickly. Throughout the month, Pilot and the Heart Association are providing access to the Heart Association’s stroke prevention education, resources and screenings to be more aware of the signs of stroke, and are promoting the B.E. F.A.S.T. warning signs:
- B – Balance Loss: Does the person appear unsteady?
- E – Eye (vision) Changes: Is vision blurred or temporarily lost?
- F – Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb?
- A – Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb?
- S – Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred?
- T – Time to call 911: If someone shows any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
“As a longstanding supporter of the Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign, Pilot is dedicated to advancing heart and stroke health in the communities it serves through its Miles of Good program. This marks the second year Pilot has extended that commitment to include fundraising specifically for American Stroke Month,” the retailer said.
