Jeff Adelman
In 2006, Jeff Adelman suffered a stroke. His daughter remembers: “When it first happened, they said he would never talk or walk.” Working tirelessly with speech-language pathologists and other professionals, Jeff overcame these challenges. Today, despite aphasia, Jeff can communicate clearly and live independently, even volunteering as a driver for Meals on Wheels near his home in Modesto and inspiring other stroke survivors in speech therapy groups
