Spotlight News published an article on local musician, Gregory Nash. At 44, Nash thought he was too young to have a stroke, but he was wrong. Despite being told he would never be able to speak again, Nash persisted. Thanks to his relentless hard work and the dedication of physicians and therapists at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, his speech is slowly returning. More importantly to Nash, he has regained his ability to play the drums. And now, Nash wants to pay it forward and help those who have helped restore his passion.
