No one expects a teenager to have a stroke, but it happened to all four of these Kansas high schoolers.
It's a crazy coincidence, but these incidents weren't related. Each girl has a unique and special story of her experience.
Blake was 16 and a competitive cheerleader when she had her stroke. It started with an earache, then a headache and nausea. After she powered through a cheer competition, her parents found her moaning in pain in her bed. They rushed her to the hospital where doctors found a clot and bleeding in her brain.
Madeline was also 16 when she had a headache while ice skating one morning, then started vomiting and seizing in the locker room. Doctors found a ruptured aneurysm in her brain.
Abby was 14 when she passed out right after running a mile in PE class. She also suffered a torn carotid artery, which led to her stroke.
