You've successfully slain the dragon! How will you toast your marshmallows?
With chocolate bars and graham crackers of course! Everyone loves S'mores. Slaying a dragon is like stroke awareness.First, we have to be aware that there may be dragons, called Stroke, lurking in our medical history. Then,we must protect ourselves by wearing armor;(diet, exercise, and necessary medication.) If a dragon does sear us with its fiery breath we may be the bravest warriors of all!
