The catchphrase of the "Give Me 5 for Stroke" campaign is "Give Me 5: Walk, Talk, Reach, See, Feel," which refers to a series of questions you can ask to assess whether someone might be having a stroke:. The campaign urges people to call immediately if they or someone else experiences these symptoms. Fairchild is joined by another spokesperson, Diana Fite, M. It's a personal cause for Fairchild as well.
Her mother suffered several debilitating strokes until her death in , and Fairchild was her caregiver. So she sat through the book report, and it was only when she was leaving that she ran into people who knew her better and who sort of said, 'Martha, what's wrong?
Even then, my mother insisted on going home and wouldn't go to the hospital. Her mother did eventually go to the hospital, but enough time had lapsed for the stroke to cause permanent damage to her brain.
During a stroke, a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts or is blocked by a clot. This prevents brain cells from getting the blood and oxygen they need, and so they die. Nowadays doctors can halt the damage by either repairing the cause of the bleeding or by administering tissue plasminogen activator tPA , a drug that can dissolve a clot but must be administered within three hours of a stroke. In either case, time is of the essence.
Fite, on the other hand, was lucky enough to know that ignoring the signs of stroke can be damaging, even deadly. Lisa Benson. Cynthia Holmes. Jennifer Pace. Show all 22 episodes.

She was born Patsy Ann McClenny on February 3, , in Dallas, Texas, and her move toward acting came in a pretty strange way: as a child, she suffered from severe shyness, which became apparent to all when, while in fifth grade, she had to read a book report aloud and got so nervous, that she actually fainted.
From that, she moved on to more advanced work. By the time she was 12, she was working in theater companies around Dallas. As a teenager, she also appeared in television commercials produced for the Dallas-Forth Worth television stations.
In , Morgan married Jack Calmes, an inventor, executive and musician, though that marriage ended in divorce in When the marriage ended, Morgan was 23 and at that point she decided to move to New York, determined to make a name for herself in acting. She refused to allow anything to stop her maybe that earlier description of clawing her way to the top may not have been wrong after all.
During those years, she was essentially spending about eight hours a day in one form of hysteria after another.
